Haha. Yes. I think it's not a good way to make money. I think Substack is a better option if you are trying to make money through writing. I assume many of the readers there is more inclined to pay for information. For Medium, I'm more interested in the traffic.

For publication, my teammate has tried it in our last startup. We did get a boost, but it's not a good long term value add. Your point below is spot on.

... would like to move away from Medium, but it's only possible if you don't care about loosing all your readers.
