Should I Leave Medium?
Or is it worth staying?
March of 2023 will mark four years of writing on Medium. So, I would like to voice my current thoughts about Medium, myself as a writer on the site, and how I feel about going forward.
First and foremost.
I want to express my gratitude for Medium. Like many writers, I wanted a way to showcase my articles and stories.
So, in 2019 I found Medium, and it has been an excellent place to publish my work for hundreds (I’m guess-estimating) of people to see.
In addition, writing on Medium has given me the opportunity to meet amazing people I’m lucky to call friends. Because of that, I will be forever grateful.
Should I Continue Writing on Medium?
I’m seriously debating whether I should discontinue publishing my work on Medium and go somewhere else.
However, I’m unsure if my readers will follow me to a new platform.
One of the remarkable things about Medium is that it comes with built-in readers, which makes it hard to get away from the site.
Yet, out of all my followers on Medium, how many of them even read my writing? Currently (January 4, 2023), I have 767 followers.
