Honestly, Water, I see it is a win win regardless of earnings as the effort to articulate something I care about, helps me clarify my thoughts and in doing so, hopefully that counters the lie-filled narratives that too often are being spread by authoritarians of every stripe.
Oooh coming from you - saying that you 'love my work' is so very validating! As I've rarely received more than forty dollars, 500 sounds astronomical ! : )
I wrote on Islam and got some not very pleasant remarks... sometimes it feels like not only is there negligible income for our writing, but we get a slap in the face for our efforts, to boot.
I'm glad for that! Like I said, I wish I could do more.
You've pretty much described writing in a nutshell (little money and lots of abuse), but if we don't continue to speak, it leaves a vacuum and that space will quickly be filled by the false actors. Considering all the false narratives out there, I look at writing as an obligation of responsible people.
I love your work! I'll do whatever I can to get more eyeballs on it. I wish that I could guarantee another $500 or $1,000 in income with my suggestions. Unfortunately, sometimes a Boost only brings another $15 or $20 to a writer. Still, it's in with a chance right?

Thank you for a very helpful article - I hadn't heard about the Boost programme till you mentioned it to me regarding one of my articles.
