It's maybe something to do with adjusting their atomic clocks for the fact that this is a leap year, and January started on a Monday.
I'm still trying to work out whether my story posted last night that had attracted three reads by the witching hour, and 0.01 dollars, was bringing in 0.0033333 per read, or maybe 0.0017 each, and they were rounding up 0.0051 to 0.01. Or with Medium maths it was actually even less, but anything that is non-zero gets rounded up just so our brains don't explode as we try to divide 0.00 by an integer.
Once I've worked all that out, I need to decide how to spend my newfound wealth.
