"I’m not sure how many articles I read, but I’m guessing it’s somewhere around 20–25 articles on a normal day." What a substantial amount that I definitely envy, especially considering my previous time and effort put it. But nowadays, I realize there's no sense in trying to predict what will happen with earnings, especially since I'm no longer willing to be here everyday and show up to the party like in the past. I envy what you've earned, but since showing up to read and engage like crazy never worked to increase my earnings to that degree, I'd rather reduce how much of my time I'm giving Medium. I can live with the results, just as long as I understand the reason why. Keep it up dude. I'm glad for you :-( - JUST KIDDING :-)
