I've been in the $100 club a few times, but now I have a new gig job that I really like. It takes about 15-20 hours/week and pays more than $200. I'm on a fixed income, and can no longer see spending as much time on Medium for so little return. I need sustenance that, no matter what I do, Medium cannot meet. I've had many stories reach over 10,000 viewers. My high is 27,000 views. I made $19.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
