Hm. Medium is just that, a medium. FWIW, it’s quite common to see a Medium blog reach the homepage of HN. I’ve never seen a LinkedIn post here though.

- varjag 5y agoThe Medium is the message, and the message is "it's time we make this official". There's plenty going for LinkedIn here, given how unhip it is. Including some reasonably popular threads. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27042151 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27042151 https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=linkedin.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=linkedin.com
- yoz-y 5y agoI stand corrected for LinkedIn not being here. > The Medium is the message, and the message is "it's time we make this official". I’m not sure I understand. To me medium is just an easy way to get a blog started. Nothing more to it. People often complain about their business model, but then people here always complain about any business model, or lack of a business model.
- varjag 5y agoSure it's a platform, just like LikedIn is. Often the content published on these is seen as rather shallow, no doubt due to their popularity.
