Apparently we can steal peoples stories from Twitter and meter them for our gain!
I’m always looking for new ways to make money on Medium!
My earnings are in the toilet.
I don’t post much at the moment because I’ve got more client work than I can manage.
Trying to maintain a schedule on Medium has proved impossible, but I don’t want to miss out on the cash!
It turns out we can just find Twitter threads, take screenshots of them, shove them in the editor and hit publish! The best part is, they can be metered, so you can earn money off of other people’s stories! Brilliant!!
Don’t believe me? Here’s the proof. (This post is NOT for the faint of heart — it’s about sex and poop.)
The author adds a short intro and then photo dumps the Twitter thread. There’s no thoughtful analysis or hot take about the contents of the thread. It’s just lifted from a free platform and placed behind a paywall on the other.
I know people think Medium is dying but do they have to actively kill it?
