>>Ask HN: why does HN allow moans disguised as questions? That's a perfect oxymoron. But, to answer your question, learning more about this subject is exactly why I posted the question here, and it wasn't moaning. I have nothing personally against people that publish or read stuff on Medium, or Medium as a company. I'm truly curious about why people use it. I learned quite a bit from the responses in fact. Several people wrote about why they still use it, several others offered alternatives to Medium. Others pointed out their own experiences publishing on Medium and several why they stopped. Most the responses were very informative and insightful.
