Hi Mitch,
you are a follower, follow the pubs, and have supported me from Day 1.
Last week you read two of my stories ~ thank you ☺️

✅ ADD, you are also FOM.
If MEDIUM was honouring this bonus, it did not for both stories. And hasn’t been the case for a few months now:(

MEDIUM is constantly changing the script.

A ghost follower (bot) will hurt your page rank, read ratio, … and more.

Engagement pays ~ a full read (to the end, not 30-seconds), a highlight, and comment ( gold!🌟).

I’ve tracked more $$$ from a non-follower, and paying Member (non/FOM) than loyal followers (FOM) that surprising pay out cents.

If curious, I will DM those earnings to you.
