So glad you wrote this Benjamin P. Hardy. I agree with literally all of it, but I think there’s a caveat to it.

Yeah, if you want to get 400,000 email subs and two book deals, you’re right. You’re not going to get that on Medium anymore. Going “pro” isn’t in the cards because in order to go pro you sort of need email subscribers.

And now if you have any Call To Action in your posts you’re screwed. You won’t get curated.

I think it’s still a platform though. It’s also free, and pays you. For most people, that’s definitely worth their while. They won’t go “pro” but they can certainly use this platform to get in front of more people than they were before (while getting paid).

It does suck that Medium isn’t what it used to be.
