Medium Publications Are Dying?

Medium publications are changing for good. Only a week ago, P.S. I Love You, one of the biggest and most popular Medium publications, announced that they’re closing the doors forever. This is because Medium decided to stop funding Medium publications, both Medium publications run by regular folks (like the Ascent and PSILY) as well as Medium-owned publications, like OneZero and Debugger. We’re gonna talk about: - How Medium publications are being defunded (with relevant historical context about Medium publications) - Why Medium publications are being defunded, based on data and facts - What this means for you as a writer, writing in Medium publications. The facts are that Medium publications have always been an incredible way to get views, followers and money. That’s why it’s so interesting to see Medium stop promoting these publications. Medium publications also allow you to explore niches, voices, and audiences. The ultimate reality is that Medium’s publications don’t match up with its #1 priority.
