Thanks for sharing, Dave! Don’t refer to yourself as a loser :) But I know what you’re saying.
I wrote to the good folks at M, to ask — yet again — WHY I have so many external views. If I was paid for the external views of my work, I’d be making some $$, too. But I’m not. I have yet to make over $40/month, even in the months where I’ve produced a couple dozen pieces. And haven’t been invited to the program.
It so irritates me to see garbage when I open, when I KNOW there is good reading material; I should not have to hunt for it.
Glad you’re going to make your annual fees!
