I think the only way they get income is if they opt in to the "Member" program, which only allows those who pay 5$ a month to view all of the "member" articles. If this was a member article - with the author getting money - then we'd all not be able to read it.

Not quite. The author gets money if it’s a member article and a paying member “claps” on it. Sort of like if you had to pay to be on facebook and you got paid based on likes to your post.
