That’s actually under the old system. No one is making a huge amount each month, but it’s now possible for new writers to make a lot more money than how it used to be.
I think $1,000 per month is probably the most, but I do know one writer that still earns over $2,000 per month.
Also, the number of followers doesn’t mean a lot and it’s not possible to determine earnings from followers because many are inactive or fake.
