Hi Emy! Thank you for the mention! I totally agree with this! I am just beginning my writer journey here on Medium, but I can honestly say that my main intention is to reach those who may benefit from my stories and experiences. Don't get me wrong, whatever amount I may or may not earn is welcome, however I am not doing this for the money. I hope that I don't get bogged down in metrics and stats.
Btw, I commented on your post about your BU publication, but I don't see that I can submit a draft yet.
