It's an interesting idea, but I think most people who publish on Medium are interested in self-promotion, rather than a direct cash payout. It would be lovely if writers could make a decent amount of money publishing to a small audience of dedicated followers who will pay, but the evidence is that advertising makes more money than direct payments.
