I'm with aoleinik. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, I had a stand-alone blog that--to put it bluntly--no one visited. Today I put the same type of content on Medium and get thousands of readers on almost each and every article. So much, in fact, that I've consistently been in the top 1,000 creators on Medium several months running. Yes, I understand that I'm simply part of their platform. but that's the same for anyone who attempts to create monetized content on Medium, YouTube, Twitch, or any of the many other platforms that pay creators for content. As far as I can tell, articles and sites like the one above exist because some people simply believe that they should never have to pay for content, and that everything should be free. Fair enough. And, that being the case, those people are never going to see my work. Also fair. But Medium drives enough people to my content to make the exchange work for me. Plus it provides enough incentive to get me off my butt and create things that I probably won't have created otherwise. If anyone who reads this doesn't like Medium. Fine. If you want to go elsewhere... also fine. But thus far, the value proposition works for me, and it apparently also works for all of the people who read my articles and stories and tutorials each and every day. To them, thanks. |
Also, do you have a link to your work?
