Abstract

rom last month didn’t deserve to. This is an example of the most egregious arrogance, and it also illustrates a significant problem when it comes to writers being paid for their hard work. I will say this only once. We should reward writers for what they do!We ALL deserve a bonus because quite frequently, our work goes ignored. For example, this month, I earned just over $19. I was also a Top Writer in the Speculative Fiction tag. I’ve had pretty good numbers, such as having almost 500 claps on a poem of mine. So, I was pretty confident that I could be one of the 1,000 writers. It’s not in the thousands, but I would surmise that I am doing quite well here.

Yes, there has been another windfall. Yes, I lost out again. Now, you will notice that I have referred to a group in the title. That is because I know that I am not the only one not being rewarded for their work. It feels as though I am the only one talking about these developments with the utmost honesty. You’ll find no faux positivity here.

I recently came across a shocking article where the writer dared to claim that those who didn’t get the $500 from last month didn’t deserve to. This is an example of the most egregious arrogance, and it also illustrates a significant problem when it comes to writers being paid for their hard work. I will say this only once.
