It’s not just that. I WANT to pay the people I read — like you —- more money. I want more people to come here to write; I want the people I enjoy — you again— to stay here; I want Medium to succeed.

Also, I often want to share great posts — like some of yours, by the way— with friends who do not have Medium. You will get paid for those views! Again, I like doing that for writers when they post something my friends may find interesting.

So I’m doing it as soon as they let me!
