MilanMay some #medium.com writers please explain me why they prefer to write there and don't deploy an own blog? I am curious.
Wesley Fryer@dragonluvr89 Maintaining your own blog takes resources, and comparatively speaking sharing posts on Medium requires less. I think there is also a perception that posts on Medium can be amplified and read more than perhaps posts on an independent blog would be.
@wfryer Thank you. What do you think of a wordpress blog? I have a medium blog but nobody ever reads it haha
@dragonluvr89 It is very beneficial to have ownership and control over your own content, and when you publish on someone else's platform like medium or blogger you need to be aware of this and a potential need to export your data if something happens to the platform. Situations very, but I think medium is perceived well as a professional sharing blog, and it is certainly much less technically demanding than a self hosted WordPress site is.
