Lol, I'm about to write a piece that examines my first "real" month of writing on here. Hint: I did not strike it rich. I did not expect it to be easy, but I did expect something more than what I got, because I've made my living as a writer my whole life. I have dozens of awards from the Illinois Press Association and the Associated Press. I've published many books. I've been told by well-regarded writers that I'm a good writer. I know for myself I'm a good writer. Yet, like you, I see people with very poor writing skills — people I would never have hired to work for me at a newspaper — bragging about making bank here. So obviously, this is not a platform that rewards good writing. That's a tough realization.
