This is such an excellent article. I really appreciate it. I’m doing both right now, but mostly I’m on Medium for many of the same reasons that you are. It is too bad. They discourage community, but I’m still there and I’m still touching base with my community. Thank you so much!
I am also continuing to write on Medium despite the embarrassing earnings and disrespect. I downgraded my subscription so I don't feel ripped off anymore. I have noticed that even though my engagement has decreased significantly, I am still gaining free substack subscriptions from Medium accounts. I think you are right! The more places we write, the better the chance of being seen by people who enjoy our writing. I've decided to write all my health articles here and the everyday stuff that's going on in my life at Medium. Maybe we will get lucky and things will dramatically change for the better over there soon. Who knows. Only time will tell. Great article!

Meta stories won't be behind the paywall anymore , just fyi!
It's nice to get some subs though
Ah, I see. Thanks! Yes I do write about Medium, I’ll check of I got such an email.
Yes I like that I’m getting subscribers. Why are you saying this about the paywall? What’s the context?
Just wanted to let you know about these changes coming as I got the email yesterday and know you also write about Medium from time to time ^^
I have 40% meta stories and now copied them and delete my best performers as these are driving traffic from Google to Medium

Thank you so much, Lee. Yes, I think we can be creative and find new ways to use this platform.
I'll keep cross posting on Medium as I have 4k+ subscribers there, but I have no idea of my reach and don't care (yet).
We'll see in the upcoming months but for now, I'll focus on Substack
Me too, I focus on Substack. Still I’ll use it as social media definitely

Thank you so much! Definitely, despite the situation, we can find better ways to take advantage of our presence on this platform
Right now, on Medium, I'm only writing Drabbles, which never make much money.
However, I'm not being paid anyway so I'm continuing to write them because of close friendship.
When you write an article on Medium and someone subscribes, do you move them over to Substack?
If not, how do they benefit you?
Oh, I get them directly to Substack because I add tons of links to Susbatck in the Medium articles. No need to import :)
That's very encouraging to hear
Thanks, April! I always try to find some ways :)
Hahah agreed 🤓if it works for you then definitely do it the way you want
