I would challenge your statement 'most tech and startup-related bloggers' and suggest this is just the availability heuristic in action.
Basically, some high-profile bloggers have moved, and the fact that they are high-profile means you notice the move more. I would suggest that in fact, most bloggers are probably just using Wordpress, as has been the case for most bloggers for a while, although I would really like to see some numbers that can confirm this either way. Also, of course, how you categorise bloggers as 'tech and startup-related' will skew the figures as well...

- grkvlt 11y agoNo problem, it was well-written enough that I wouldn't have guessed that! But, in that case, sure, I think you're seeing selective bandwagon-jumping because medium is trendy. I will be curious to see how many people publish on medium just once or twice as an experiment, and then revert to their original platform, versus those who make a permanent change, though. As I said, I have no hard figures, so this is mostly conjecture on my part, and I'd be interested in actual data...
