Thanks, Meg for speaking up for us. I am one of those daily writers on several pubs with 3.4K followers who has yet to crack the $100/month barrier except when I got those lovely bonuses from Medium for being a community biuilder. I am a co-editor for Middle-Pause. as such I have gone out of the way to support newbie writers and help them tweak their wiriting and formating, which has helped many of them get distributed for the first time. I am hoping the getting distriubred will be more meaningful than it has been of late, and with Tony at the helm, I'm feeling better about these issues. thanks for carrying the torch!!!
