As an Indian writer, I've faced similar frustrations. It's disheartening to see that despite our enthusiasm and hard work, we still struggle with basic issues like getting paid.

I've also tried setting up accounts and dealing with the Stripe issue.

I have been waiting for MPP in India since I joined Medium.

Apart from it, I think it's high time these platforms explore other options, like PayPal or direct bank transfers, to make it easier for writers from all regions to get their rightful earnings.

Let's keep the conversation going and push for better solutions!
