Oh dear. They actually told you that your traffic would be limited! I didn't realise that. I was earning very little in 2021, but had heard of people earning these huge sums and had high hopes. I'm sorry that happened. Glad you were able to save some of what you earned in 2021. What an amazing achievement back then! I joined in May 2021 and earned $1.04 in the first month and $12 in the second, $32 in the third month, and I eventually reached $100 in month four when I wrote a moan about a stupid Medium editor, which got a lot of reads. After that, I earned $71, and stayed around the $100 mark for most of the next year. I did a bit better in 2022, but have never earned big money here.
