(I looked into this a while ago, may have changed)
I think you get paid in some inscrutable formula of '% of subscription revenue when someone reads your post and then subscribes'
like based on some cursed attribution model
it also has a CMS technology that loads a visible page, then does a bunch of FOUC nonsense, probably messes with my scroll in some way -- heavy + awful presentation tech
- nicci-kadilak 4y agoThey pay for member reading time. In other words, when a paying member reads your piece, a part of their $5 goes to you based on the number of minutes they read. Outside views give nothing. So even if your article goes viral on HN or somewhere else, if the readers aren’t subscribers you make nothing. (It ends up being something like 1-3¢/min)
