I never liked medium, their comment UX is weird and annoying, the whole thing is just faceless, brandless and feels generic. Mabye I'm old, but I find shared hosting with one click deployment of wordpress a better choice, but heck, most of the blogs I end up reading nowdays are tech blogs written by bright people who for some reason will not 1. deploy an existing blog engine to a shared host 2. host a blog on a vps 3. write a rudimentary blog engine 4. write a static generator (how much time could that be? a day?) Yep, searching may be tricky, especially with rendered sites, but it's doable and I literally never used the search function on medium... but whatever. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. If you really want to publish something and you're a lazy bum, just throw up a github repo, or a gist, it's still 100% more flexible than medium.
