Dear Cory Doctorow. > You have 2 free member-only stories left this month. Sign up for Medium and get an extra one Why write something if a good many of your readers will not be able to read it? Do these writers realize they're standing behind someone else's gate? This is the internet! You can publish your own blog with absolutely minimal effort. For free even! I just do not get it. Why do people give their content to Medium!?

    I expect it's like all other power law pursuits - if you get to that 0.1% it's totally worth it.
