Yes, Medium is an amazing platform. I took it up because for anyone to read more there's a need for subscription. It's like a private house. Only family hold the keys. It may not be a complete privacy from the negative ones, but if they must peep by, they got to pay subscription. I do like that idea.
That's 1 of the reason I asked if you're new. I would love to follow those who are new and give them my support. Write frequently. Get familiar as much as you can on this platform. Find publications suitable for your writings if you do want to write for other publications too. Remember to publish yours directly to your page too. There's a lot to learn. Medium became my practice platform in writing.
At the same time don't stress up about writing. I felt that once somewhere through August but that was because I was testing another platform (blogger) on its features and google analytics results. That burnt me out a little. Now I can sleep better. 😊
