30 minutes for alternative? It should be 5 minutes tops if not that for you to host content on ready made platform.

It feels that Medium is a product that could be disturbed. Basic WYSIG editor and easy upload. Then again I wonder what would be business model for such product. And would it just end up being what Medium is doing...




Yeah Medium was great at first. All the issues now are driven by monetization.


Did this lead to a lower quality of articles, as it was less about having to say something and more about saying (obvious) things about popular topics in order to make money? Or did Medium find a good way of taking the best of both worlds?

(I always skip Medium articles, so I cannot judge for myself)
