Replies for: I have a few posts published on both platforms, and I feel like it's nearly impossible to gain traction in Medium without being behind the paywall ...

Why do you post there if you dont agree with their hostility towards users?

Good question. I don't have a clear answer, but it doesn't cost me anything so I guess why not?

Good Backlinks and views to my own blog are the only reason I see on posting at Medium. If I didn't had one, I wouldn't be there.

I didn't mention it, but I do have a blog of my own, so yeah you pretty much summed it up better than I was able to.
