What are some good alternatives? I’m not a fan of Medium either. Their user experience is very disrespectful. Edit: alternatives for a reader

  I'm pretty biased myself, but I always recommend folks publish to their own sites (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/) If discoverability is lacking there's quite a few aggregate platforms that can boost readership / visibility of your site, but always publishing on your own site first!

    You say that discoverability options for individual websites exist, if you could, please name a couple that you recommend, because that one issues is a huge problem for would-be writers and one major reason why they do indeed pick sites like Medium. It's easy to criticize big platforms from one angle but how thousands of other people believe they will help them should be taken into consideration as well.

  If the author is willing to spend 30 to 60 minutes (depending on technical skills) to learn how to set things up, nothing beats static websites. My current favorite is Zola, but there literally hundreds of options with varying pros and cons. Otherwise, substack seems to have a better business model imo. I wouldn't use it myself because I don't trust them to stay as they are when/if they corner the market, but for the time being I think Substack is what Medium pretends to be/
