Stop writing for medium. As a blogger, you are writing for influence, not for money. You throw that away the moment a reader sees the message: To keep reading this story, create a free account.

Seriously, take an hour of your time and learn how to use Hugo, buy a cheap domain name, and set up your blog for hosting directly from a CDN. Stop being that person that helps medium make money off of other people's content.

His startup/business/project is based around Medium, so I doubt he's going to ditch it.

English isn't my mother tong, what's building a Moneyball?

Writing whatever people are willing to read in the promise to make it big, without having to do anything big yourself?
