Ask HN: What do you think about Medium?

5 points

11 years ago

Recently I have been very fascinated with medium.com, because I really love the idea of merging a blogging platform and a social network, and nobody has done this right up to this point. And also because I am thinking about working on a competing project, since I have many ideas on how this can be done better.

I would really love to hear your thoughts about medium, and I would be very grateful if you could answer a few questions:

- How do you feel about medium? Love/hate/indifferent?

- What did they do right, and what are it's flaws?

- What would you do better? What needs to be changed?

- What do you expect to see in the future? In 5 years, will medium be what twitter is now, or will nobody care about it? Will they be able to maintain the content quality, and if yes then how?

- How do you think they are going to monetize it? How would you do that?
