Hey Sherry. I totally feel you girl. I did 12 stories and got thousands of impressions and several thousand views, but all after the base pay policy was dropped. So trying to get the additional 85 followers I need over there has prevented me from earning a cent. I did like the feel of writing a few "breaking news" pieces, but like you, I just don't see the point. I'm curious about how you and that sharp tongue of yours got along with the community. I read one comment, and it was toxic, just like I'd been warned by a Medium writer. I never read another. Did you have any sparring matches with anyone? I hope you told them to f*ck off. LOL
