Substack is the new rage now.
I don’t really understand why - it’s just a blog with mailing list! - but maybe the addition of payments make it work.
I have to say I really enjoy Substack as a platform. But I thought that about Medium few years ago, and now I actively avoid Medium articles. So, whatever.
- vxNsr 5y agoI think the difference here is that medium tried to be free and then charge, while substack leaves that up to the author. Medium followed the Web 2.0 model, substack is following Web 3.0? Creators get to choose how to monetize their product, platforms just act as platforms and get out of the way.
