One month ago I joined this community, after being recommended by many of my friends, especially @CryptoWordsmith and @Heruvim78. Both constantly promoted the platform and convinced me to join. At the beginning was a bit of a challenge to deliver my message, to adapt and embrace the differences. I know is harder to get followers and even more difficult to get tips from other members.
There were many differences which made the article delivery difficult. If on Publish0x you target your audience using tags, in here you had to select only one community where the post will be available. I had to do my own promotion as in here is no "new posts" tab where to catch up with the news or a Facebook group where to share my posts.
I knew that followers can see a notification when the article was published, but is not the same considering I moved from over 1000 followers on Publish0x to only 2 on Read.Cash, the ones above who convinced me to join.
On the first days, the reward was calculated according to social interaction, comments and a system which I didn't had time to understand, because at the end of the week this was replaced with a Random Reward Bot. His job is to tip quality content
In this month I made some new friends and people which I am looking forward to read their new posts, such as @tired_momma and @MoreGainStrategies and managed to increased my followers pool to 16 people. Meanwhile I convinced my young padawan, @Steve_BA to join me. Man this guy knows absolutely everything when it is time to talk about politics.
I posted at least once a day, either a full article or a short post, and I can say I am surprised on the amount I earned from writing, considering that the tips are coming out from the personal wallet not from a tipping pool. The reward bot is generous, when he is not "Missing in Action" but I will come back to this topic a bit later.
My reward after a month is $15.54, the $13.91 gained in October, and $1.63 which I withdrew to Celsius Network at the end of September. There I will HODL my Bitcoin Cash, at 4.51% APY. I am very pleased by how easy the withdraw was, and by the short time it took for the Bitcoin Cash to reach my wallet.
@tired_momma you definitely deserve a second mention in my article, for the amazing travel posts, and for being the first to spot the "Activity Bonus". Basically the activity bonus can be checked on the earning tab, and consists in a payment from advertisers as result of the activity on the site. The bonus become payable after 10 days, and the Lock will become a Blue Button when users can claim the earnings. If not claimed, the reward will expire in 30 days.
Let's come back to the Random Reward Bot, which is a brilliant idea, when is working. The first day when it was implemented, I received some nice tips from him. The tips were lower the next day, and than the Bot went missing. It was then when I called him ... Rusty! After 4 days and 10 posts with no tips, I made the "missing person alert: have you seen Rusty?" post and many other users expressed their concerns regarding his absence and the lack of tips. The next day I received $0.05 tip from Rusty, before he went missing again, for another week.
This morning he came back with a bang ... tipping me over $4 on the last week posts. Thank you buddy! I really missed you!
Rusty came back in the afternoon as well, for another set of upvotes. Giving the recent activity, I believe it was an issue with the reward system which now has been sorted. Long live Rusty! I love you! Promise you will not abandon me again!
I checked my affiliates and noticed that 23 users used my referral link to join Read.Cash but unfortunately, only 2 of them ever wrote an article.
Over the last week, while I was concerned about Rusty, the Bitcoin value surged from $11,500 to $13,000. This move comes as a relief for the BTC believers and as a sign of rejuvenation for the market.
Meanwhile, looks like Google is having a payback with Brave as rechapta is making impossible to log in to certain websites. This issue can be easily solved by turning Brave Shield off. After this, captcha works fine.

Very nice summary. I can confirm all of your observations concerning rusty. And I am happy, he has a job again! I took some time off while being frustrated with him, but when he returns, so shall I. 😁
