I don’t let anyone syndicate my work without pay. At least not anymore. I did for a while and then one pub started pulling stories without asking. Another pub admitted they would also republish my stories to Yahoo News and Newsbreak and make money off them!!! No! I’ve received nothing from the stories I’ve allowed to be republished (for free) and it pulls down my SEO score (duplicate content). Plus, why pay to read my work on Medium if you can read it elsewhere for free? No thanks. Now I refuse.
Pulling stories without asking is not okay at all. If they state that it's a reprint it's not considered duplicate content by Google, but if they don't it is. I can understand why you wouldn't want to syndicate though with that experience.
