After the late September crash, I saw an uptick in mid-October. Another one in late October. And that one has stuck for me. Although different stories perform differently, there's a pattern. My earnings are around 50% of August as well.
Since then I haven't experienced any change, positive or negative. I signed up for the FOM a week ago. No change with that either. And some of my readers have it as well, and I don't see 4X earnings from them, even when they read older stories.
Not sure if this helps, but that's my experience.
I feel that we should write about earnings, because the "Is it just me?" question can become stressful.
I really appreciated the stories you wrote in September and October. They helped me a lot.
