1. I didn't get paid because there was an issue with Stripe back then. It is resolved now. 2. Medium sends the payment to Stripe and Stripe sends it to the bank account. No, we can't use any other platform to receive the payment as of now. 3. I have created a video on how much I made on Medium in 2024 so you can check that. 4.
