Sounds to me like you were one of the people who were earning decent money here at one time, and bringing readers in from outside. You shouldn't have been caught up in this mess.

I've only earned four figures once in 4 years. Usually it's been $300-$400 a month and a dilemma on whether to keep trying. At least the rate falling to 2 cents a piece clarifies that there really is no point in me spending a lot of time here, from a work perspective. I'll read until my membership runs out and then see how things are.

I thought you'd ditched your paid membership. Nice to have you back for a bit!
