I run a small blogging platform (https://blot.im) and get a steady stream of Medium-apostates who've made this realization. Medium is a deeply flawed product and is not designed in the best interests of its writers or its readers. I recommend The Billionaire's Typewriter by Matthew Butterick if you're interested in why this is so:

Medium's trendy design can be enticing but I'd try to steer people towards a platform over which they have control.
