This was super informative. I have considered publishing on Medium as well.

It’s still a cool blogging platform.

Thank you! I wondered about this and now have more info.

I've got one more reason: you can easily import all your posts on Substack :) When they're in a publication, it doesn't work. That said, as a publication owner I think there are still benefits. We just got the option to feature one story per week. I'm testing it, it might be huge...

How did you get your custom domain on Medium?

There used to be a section in the settings for this. Don’t know if it’s still there. Medium removed it a couple of times.

Better to blog on your own domain or to join a paid publication, e.g. earn 20 cents a word.

Love that you are laying out why some shouldn't self publish yet . .

People need audience to scale, it's one thing to write good words - but with a tiny audience it's hard to scale growth
