Always wondered about medium's compensation program. To judge one's compensation on a person's read time - frankly? Disingenuous. Some souls are fast readers. They scan a page in seconds. They get it. They move on. Other's? When they start reading, get a call, scrolling stops. When they re-start reading / scrolling? How's that metered?
Fortunately I've shed illusions on how medium plays a role in my financial wellbeing. Should one day some magical algorithms pickup a post or two and a miracle happens such that I earn enough to buy a bag of chips - wooo wHOO! LOL!
