Hi Maliha, I read an article of yours on my phone app and commented, but as I often do I got the "Error Posting" message and couldn't save it. This is one of my pet peeves about the Medium app. I leave thoughtful comments and can't post them. Repeatedly. Give me a break. Now, I comment less.

Anyway, I started screenshoting some comments so as not to lose them and maybe get them up on my laptop at some point.

In regard to the tipping feature, I responded:

Love your optimism! It's not giving me a red cent, yet, at least. My reads have tanked to about 40/day. I was in that 100+ reads/day zone for months (years??).

I'm tired of feeding the Medium candy machine. It's so freaking focused on pumping out content. Cuz when I do, I make more, but my life is all on Medium. F that.
