I disagree but I see where you are coming from. Some personal blogs are unreadable because of shoddy CSS choices, but I need them to have a little personality for me to spend a second on them. The most memorable ones for me are those that I can distinguish visually (they don't have to be necessarily beautiful) And Medium is a good idea in a vacuum, in practice with nag screens and article limits the association I make when I land on it is "fuck this place, and whoever write it only cares for engagement, not reader experience." And it's true. If you care about your readers, you won't subject them to Medium or Substack's silliness. I literally don't know a single good blog hosted on those platforms. At least on blogspot we had Steve Yegge.
