If you’ve ever published on Medium, you’ve likely loved and earned from it.
But what happens when the maths behind those earnings just doesn’t seem to add up?
That’s exactly what happened when I recently reviewed the stats of one of my articles:

Don’t the numbers seem odd?
10 views
1 read (10% read ratio)
$2.08 in earnings
Now, I have articles with 100+ reads and 90% read ratio, and I’ve earned less than $1 from it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While Medium shares general guidelines on how earnings work here, cases like these leave writers scratching their heads.
Anyways, I’m happy to pocket the $2.08, it’s fascinating — thanks to Lucky who clapped and responded to this.
