May some #medium.com writers please explain me why they prefer to write there and don't deploy an own blog? I am curious.

@milan marketing reach, I think. I know a number of writers who use it / crosspost to it. I've had an account for ages but never posted anything. I keep thinking I should try it, see how the community is, if it's at all interactive or just 'read my shit'

@milan

* Gorgeous posting experience.
* Built-in audience (you're guaranteed at least some views)
* Ad-free
* Can establish custom-domain magazine-type sites with multiple authors

It's a compelling experience overall, and is especially attractive at the $0.00/month price point. Way cheaper than trying to maintain any sort of blog.
