Seriously? Without reading the original, it makes me feel like it always does - leave this site and its ilk to Mona, and go back to what we know how to do best: earn real coin the traditional way, by submitting work to paying publications or doing real freelance writing for paying clients. Let the "Monas" of the world bemoan the unfairness of pay-per-view and shitty rates. This is a BLOGGING PLATFORM masquerading as a serious, paying market for writers. Why complain about it at all? She may be right about that. If you've been around the internet more than a hot second, you've seen half a dozen or more sites like Medium collapse in on themselves and die. Medium is doing better than most.
