Overall Satisfaction with Medium

I use Medium as a portfolio for the various areas I've worked in and can teach. I also use it as a source for a "Publication" I've created, including others in the community and focusing on a subset of a subject. This is a way of showing prospective employers in my life that I have the necessary knowledge without subjecting them to a short and uninteresting resume.
  • Content categorization and grouping.
  • The option to make some money from sharing your passion and teaching.
  • Moderating content manually to not promote AI-generated content and boosting very authentic and impactful posts.
  • Making awareness for Publications.
  • A system to find writers for your publication.
  • Their content-revenue model.
  • Making enough money to pay back the monthly subscription fee takes a long time to reach that level.
  • I've gotten a lot more recognition for being an SME in many areas and have received more interest professionally.
  • Writing enough articles that are also high enough quality to attract followers takes a lot of time out of my weeks.
