A really good analysis and alternative viewpoint on Medium. To be fair I have been here for many years and seen this ups and downs several times.

The tip I would give new writers is to just keep going. I would work on the premise that you need to write here consistently for two years before you will start making big money. In any other blogging business such as a website it would take this long. Why people think they can jump on Medium and start making big money amuses me.
