The web content is a brief reflection on the importance of spending time reading poetry on Medium to support poets financially in the current climate where reading duration is a critical metric for writer compensation.
Abstract
The article titled "A Short Poem About Reading Short Poems on Medium If We Don’t Want Poets To Go Broke" emphasizes the significance of readers dedicating time to reading poetry on Medium. With the platform's focus on the duration of reading as a key performance metric, the piece suggests that slow and thoughtful reading is essential to ensure that poets are adequately compensated for their work. The poem itself is succinct, encapsulating the message in two lines, and is accompanied by a photograph credited to Matthew Henry. Additionally, the article provides a link to another poem by Roz Warren for readers who wish to explore more of her work, as well as a link to an article titled "Welcome to the Post-Clap Era!" which discusses the implications of Medium's evolving platform dynamics.
Opinions

All I know
