Thanks for sharing this info, Juli. I don't bother to look at my stats and only happened to notice the earnings for the piece I just mentioned in my other message to you. I was scrolling to the bottom to see total earnings for the month so far and that piece stood out for me on the way down as it was written more than 2 years ago.

I pay no attention to stats otherwise.

I have to say, I love the FoM program and signed up as soon as I spotted it. Happy to do my bit to help our community! I think it's a brilliant idea and a way to reinforce the sense of giving and generosity that are central to the way Medium works and feels best.

Thanks for an interesting read!
