I write not to please readers but to make them think. According to your article, I should have a low reading ratios.

Considering the broad audience on Medium, I am pleased with 23.3% of my articles having a reading ratio between 60% and 73%. The next 45.6% of my texts have a reading ratio between 40% and 60%. The longest and hard to read essay has a reading ratio of 26%. The most read article that is long as well has a reading ratio of 25%. By the way, only 5.6% of my articles have a reading ratio below 25%. I am very satisfied with these numbers.

But for the money, yesterday I made on Medium 58 cents, and it is typical.
