About

Where good ideas find you. Read and share new perspectives on just about any topic. Everyone’s welcome. The best ideas can change who we are. Medium is where those ideas take shape, take off, and spark powerful conversations. We’re an open platform where 170 million readers come to find insightful and dynamic thinking. Here, expert and undiscovered voices alike dive into the heart of any topic and bring new ideas to the surface. Our purpose is to spread these ideas and deepen understanding of the world. We’re creating a new model for digital publishing. One that supports nuance, complexity, and vital storytelling without giving in to the incentives of advertising. It’s an environment that’s open to everyone but promotes substance and authenticity. And it’s where deeper connections forged between readers and writers can lead to discovery and growth. Together with millions of collaborators, we’re building a trusted and vibrant ecosystem fueled by important ideas.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Good quality articles. TTS option - for listening to the article. Lots of curated collections to group together articles under common theme / topic. Reading list feature to save articles.
  • -Clean, intuitive app. -High quality content. -Real potential to earn as a writer if you can put in the time. -Affordable subscription fee to unlock all content. -Engaged community.
  • It's a solid place to upload information about your company or opinion pieces and start up a conversation in the comments. The look of Medium is very minimalistic, clean and modern. It's good if you've got more to say than can be condensed in a Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter post, and you won't need to do anything to make your content already look great.

Cons

  • Cluttered interface - the main reading window is narrow due to the sidebars. Ads and limited access for free users.
  • -Mobile app makes in-app writing cumbersome. -Tends to get laggy and need restarting/refreshing. -Extremely competitive/saturated market. -Curated feed lacks variety. -Unpaid membership only allows a few premium article views a month.
  • Medium looks good, but you will struggle to stand out from everyone else on the site. There's a lot of people on medium, and opportunities to make money there are slim if all you're doing is posting to Medium. It's okay for posting about your product or in conjunction with other platforms, but not really worthwhile by itself. You get that nice, clean look in exchange, likewise, for being able to customize much of anything.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - It's easy to use. - It's pretty intuitive. - The support team is kind and is eager to help (also answers quickly). - There are not that much rules about content so artist have more freedom. - The fee is only 1%, which usually is 1$ of your paycheck (Patreon's is 5%).

Cons

  • - You cannot create "groups". SubscribeStar works by hashtags (which it's comfortable to find all the content with an specific theme but horrible for a continuation.) - Nowadays (let's hope it changes)
