You know I am one of your fans. I have been writing for a year or so. No where near a thousand stories. But I enjoy it. I am not very tech-savvy with such programs as Medium. But I have received diddley-squat for my writing, which is a bit over nothing. I don't know what earns money on Medium. Maybe one needs many followers. I don't know. Perhaps they count "claps." For me it is not at all transparent. In any case, you should be earning for your writing, which is always stellar.
