Okay, were you on her webinar? I wasn't able to make that so I don't know what she says. Anyway, I still think whether medium counts is as a read for stats purposes, and whether you get paid on the read time of someone who doesn't finish the article are totally separate. I am sure, judging from my own stats and earnings records, that you get paid for any time someone spends reading (if they are a paying member) however far they read. Medium Staff's article pretty much says this too, and certainly doesn't say that you only get paid if someone reads to the end. Do check it, but I have done anyway and it definitely doesn';t say that.
