Hey Medium: Where the Heck are All My Readers?

Please stand up and be counted or get kicked to the curb!

Just kidding — I love my dysfunctional Medium family and I would never kick any of you to the curb (no more than I would do my real life family). 💔💔💔

But that doesn’t mean I won’t let folks have a piece of my mind, lovingly of course.

I hate to always seem like a whiner or complainer, or like I’m never satisfied, but I can’t help but speak up, when I feel like something is off.

I may not always know exactly what it is that’s amiss, but I for sure know when something’s just not right, or doesn’t add up.

Once again, here on Medium, I sense something’s happening. Normally, I’m bothered, because when the numbers are off, it means my earnings are down.

Okay — that’s a given.

But having readers show up and read, but earning a low amount when they do, is not the same as not having them show up at all (and of course, earning a low amount when they don’t).

I’ve accepted the fact that many of my Medium related stories won’t earn as much as other stories, nor will Medium automatically distribute those stories.
