I have written for them, and the rights thing became a big issue. I'll tell you they, and many, online places have absolutely noooo idea what the various rights things mean. It would take a novella to explain it here, but I actually tried to ask questions and share what I know regarding rights from decades of dealing with it. The answers I got were silly. In the end, because I asked questions that I know no beginning writer will asked, they could only sell my stuff as one time rights because I had published it before. That's what I told them from the start. They do very little to elicit confidence.
If you are willing to sell all rights and walk away, you can do pretty well in terms of online writing, however. I'm seeing people getting $50-150 for all rights. It's paltry by print standards, but by online standards, it's huge. Associated Content pays only about $10 tops for all rights.
