I’d second that and can relate as I’d have loved to pay Medium for an enterprise global account that would’ve allowed selected, smart engineers from my current company to post blogs that would escape the Medium paywall. Looks like to me that option doesn’t exist on Medium - or I’m not able to find my way through your website.

That being said, you Medium folks - as it looks like you’re actively reading this thread - should work in priority on the global perception that Medium is hosting more and more clickbait and superficial content, as that is a possible concern for people like me who’d be willing to give you corporate money so that our possible readers would bypass the paywall.

In a nutshell: work on an option (or pivot to?) making good writers pay for publishing content and get rid of the others. Some of those writer will be fine with paying (corporate branding is their goal), while some others will ask for their share of the fame created and you may want to go the Patreon way for them, i.e. asking readers to pay as an option (?)
