Thank you, Cristina!! It's a funny story, actually... or, more accurately, it's a serious one, and it's a question. Actually, the question is part of the story.

But say I made $50,000 on this. Completely hypothetical, I'm not promising it'll happen...

Say I made $20.

At first...

Well, Medium has no split-payment options. So I debated with myself, should I profit from this?

There was some back and forth, and though I thought I'd switched it back, the MPP box ultimately registered as unchecked, which is normal when submitting to publications.

I've switched it back, because I can't give her money we didn't make.

Of course, only now am I thinking about NightCafe and Ai's part to play in all this... well, I can't pay everyone who's ever existed.

We'll work something out. 💚

But I promise you, Cristina, if I uncover your theory is correct, you'll be the first to know.

Love,

G
