I got the first bonus, and it mostly left me confused. :-) Missed the second and third, but at least I knew what I was aiming for. Got the last one, at the $100 level, and I found *that* dispiriting. Because they were supposed to be going to the people earning the most on the platform, and I earned $86. And was considered one of the top 1500 writers. That is just AWFUL. Now, if it went to people because of engagement, like the first one, I could totally see getting it, because that's my main focus. And I'm starting to pull in what Tim Denning calls super-fans -- the ones who read everything I write, and comment on it, and even feel the need to share vacation plans with me so I won't feel bad when I don't see them commenting for a while. :-) So, bizarre as it seems, I almost hope Medium changed the bonus award rules behind the scenes. :-)
