This is a great idea in theory, esp since I and others have had stories get thousands of views and only seen a few pennies. That does seem out of whack. But since we already have a way to get paid by Medium, why do we need to log on to yet another system and not be able to be paid through the Medium method we already have? I think that should be an option. Also, writers should get a little more money if they get thousands of views from readers even if they're not signed up yet and don't sign up in 30 days.
