I need to go find out when I joined Medium. I spend more time reading and responding vs writing. I love the engagement here. I am still waiting to get my first 10.00 monthly deposit. I think I am at 9.88 or something like that. I think that they used to pay you no matter how small the amount was. But now they want you to have a minimum of 10.00 before you get paid. Ha! Personally, the can keep the 10.00, its not that big of a deal to me. I am not here for the money. If I were we would be living in a tent city and I would not have Internet access.
