If there is a document web, it needs to have paid subscriptions baked in. Like a 404 page but for those who aren’t paying subscribers, and maybe even a way to show an article preview. That’s the only way monetization would work, other than

What, so now displaying an error message means you're responsible for the error? See some of the other threads about why Apple might not like playing dirty to go behind T-Mobile's back--each one needs the other for its good reputa

Just start writing. Publish it somewhere, anywhere. GitHub Pages is probably the easiest for you, and may help if Medium leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You can host it from your own domain later with minimal changes. Why are you dismissi
