Some will be overcome with joy and will stand erect upon a rock. 🍆 And will claim things like “And it was this long. I swear it was.” Photo by Aziz Acharki on Unsplash

“Yeah, and my earnings recalculation is bigger than your earnings recalculation.”

It’s coming.

That glitch-free period in the Medium mistake maelstrom during which time everything here will be slick as boiled okra. Earnings recalculations will occur and be posted to everyone’s heroin-chic-thin accounts.

Gotta happen.

Medium just hit profitability — or so we’re told — and their coffers are full to overflowing. It’s only a little, teeny-tiny, hiccup of a hitch of a bump in the road preventing all that loot from finding its way into writers’ pockets.

Doubt me?

The floodgates will open.
