Same content as Steemit. No plagiarism filter issues so far. As you can see from the pic I posted earlier, it took me until month 4 to make $50, but I'd earned $30 over the prior two months. So I guess let's call it 3.5 months to make back the sub fee.

Steemit was a slow grind for me too, in the beginning. Medium offers a bigger prize though, stability.
