Summary

Medium will be providing additional bonus waves for listen time to eligible writers, with details and payouts to be communicated via email.

Abstract

The website content announces an upcoming series of bonuses for Medium writers based on the listen time of their metered stories. Writers will receive an email notification about these bonuses, which will be factored into their payout calculations as part of an experiment by Medium. Eligible writers can expect a positive adjustment in their earnings after the month's end, appearing as a one-time engagement bonus, though it may be paid out multiple times. The article also hints at good news for those who might not receive an email notification for March 2022.

Opinions

  • The author expresses excitement about the confirmation of more bonus waves for listen time on Medium.
  • The author conveys that Medium's new approach to writer support, including the factor of listen time into earnings, is a positive development.
  • There is a sense of reassurance that eligible writers will benefit from the new payout calculations, with an adjustment that will be reflected as an engagement bonus.
  • The author seems to suggest that the term 'one-time engagement' bonus is somewhat misleading, as it implies multiple payouts.

I have fantastic news for you!

Some of you asked me whether there will be another wave of bonuses this spring and now I can answer:

🥳 YES! There will definitely be more bonus waves for listen time and you’ll get an email!

Medium’s new Writer Support (thanks Elle!) shared with me the following details:

  • Medium will factor listen time into the payout calculations during this experiment for eligible writers with metered stories.
  • Eligible writers whose posts have been listened to will see a positive adjustment in their earnings after the end of the month.
  • The adjustment will appear as a one-time engagement bonus.

🥳So it’s called a ‘one-time engagement’ bonus BUT it will be paid out several times.
