I hear you and I've seen previous similar requests like this about poetry and fiction.

Is the problem is that there are readers on Medium that want to read fiction and poetry but don't see it? If so, then that's a problem we should fix on our own.

But if the problem is that there aren't many subscribers who do want to pay for fiction and poetry, then could you give us some guidance on how to get more fiction/poetry subscribers? Obviously we know something about this for some topics but we could always use help.

The payment is really just a reflection of what our subscribers are reading. So the way we can give more money in a topic is to get more subscribers interested in that topic.
