Could they be prepping for the war against ads and trackers? There's been a bit of talk about having a central paywall of sorts. One where I put money into a service and that service is responsible for distributing the money to the sites that I visit (that have signed up with said paywall service). Kind of like what Google has as an alternative to seeing its ads (can't recall the name). Medium would be an ideal platform for this. Put a monthly fee into medium (maybe you choose how much), or just give your credit card and set a cap on how much you can spend per month, and then when you visit posts on medium, the authors get paid out based on visits and percentage read (or something similar). That could have the potential to upend the indie blogger market right now. They'd have distribution, managed systems, and would get paid for their work.
