I still don't really get Medium. My current mental picture is that it's something like Pastebin with nice formatting - if you want to post something but you don't want to go to the trouble of setting up somewhere to host it, chuck it on Medium. I can see that being a useful service, but it seems likely to become a commodity (look at all the pastebin alternatives out there), and not vastly easy to make money from.
- derefr 13y agoThe interesting and invisible-from-the-outside bit of Medium is the collaborative editing/review system. It's not just a pastebin; it's really laser-focused on editorials and essays.
- stfu 13y agoI always thought its laser-focus was on having overhyped headlines for underwhelming content.
