What people also don't factor in a place like Medium is, what then? What happens when your stories aren't getting traction because the competition is too high? The earnings aren't high enough to retire on and even while writing, rely on. 2000 a month(highly paid on Medium) is 24,000 dollars a year, 21k€ - tax. 16k. 1200 a month... I would predict that to get to that kind of earnings you'd have to be very well supported which takes a lot of effort much like a job but, you would still be some 20% under the poverty line in Finland I think.

Exactly. And you'd have to do research, write professional level text fast, etc. to earn any real money. €16k after taxes is scarcely enough to support one person in this country.
