Renewing Medium’s focus
I just don't get why people consider Medium to be so remarkable or innovative. It's just Blogger 2.0, in a prettier outfit. It's just a whole bunch of networked blogs, started by a really popular Silicon Valley dude.And now they've realized that ads slapped onto content isn't sustainable. Gee whiz, welcome to the wonderful world of content publishing, that all other newspapers and magazines have been made painfully aware of in recent times.It sucks that a bunch of people lost their jobs today, but really, to think that Medium was doing literally one single thing in an innovative way was just plain naive.
