This is even more deeply disturbing than I thought. I figured this was just another 'glitch' and that everyone was being affected equally. Apparently not.
I wrote a piece on Dec 28 that had 69 reads and earned $13.50. I wrote a piece a few days ago that got 38 reads and earned 13 cents. Both were 9-minute reads.
How is it that something that gets twice as many reads earned 100 times the amount of the other??
I am increasingly disgusted by what's happening here - especially if there is favouritism.
They encourage community engagement and then punish us for it?????
