Just joined, this is my first post here
I read a great post on here by someone who's leaving Medium because of the recent paywall feature. I've backed Hackernoon to move off Medium recently, so I totally understand where he's coming from.
I have personally just joined Medium as a content creator a few weeks ago and didn't notice the default paywall setting until the post. I wrote this post on Mary Meeker's Internet Trends Report 2019 yesterday, and now opted for not having it behind the paywall. I saw an immediate drop in referrals from Medium itself.
I also publish in parallel on a WP site. Not sure where to go from here, for the open-source/dev-related content I'm considering publishing here instead of Medium going forward.
Let's see and happy to be part of this community now either way.
