I wanted to push my latest two tutorials to Medium because my older articles got some views there. I stopped using it as the first place to publish something, when they introduced their signup wall.

They turned off the WordPress-to-Medium plugin, so I had to use the manual import. Which worked okay.

But then they told me, that I have to enable the metered paywall for may articles, if I want them to be distributed to more people than only my followers.
The articles are freely available on my website. I am okay when people pay for them on Medium. I activated the metered paywall. How do I get paid?

Per default I don't get paid. I have to join their Partner Program first. To do that I need a Stripe account. Luckily I have one.
I joined the Partner Program. Yay, now the money can flow. Wait. I first have to fill out some tax forms or they won't give me the money I earn. Okay, I like taxes and having them done properly.

Three different forms? Which one should I choose? I am already tired.
I think W-8BEN-E is the right one for me. I am registered as a company.

Five more steps? I am out.

Until the articles generate a significant amount of money, I don't think this is a good use of my time.
