I don't understand why anybody would ever post anything to Medium, as there is a monthly article limit. If you want people to read your work, why would you post to a site where how much the audience reads _other people_ affects their access to yours? It makes no sense.

Medium became popular years ago because it allows authors to have an inbuilt audience (via their recommended feed) and a writing interface that's aesthetically pleasing.

In the years since, both advantages have weakened a bit as competitors now have similar features.

The monthly article limit only applies to authors who opt into the Member program to get revenue, which Medium has been pushing since previous monetizations attempts failed.

The article limit only applies to their "premium" content. Any random article you post there can be read by anyone.

Still, post primarily on your own domain!
