a slightly unrelated question. do the authors at least get paid for posting things on Medium? if not, why do that? I’m unironically curious. it’s a bad platform no matter how you look at it: it’s closed for unregistered readers, it’s typesetting sucks ass… the only reason I could see, is if the authors actually get some of the ad revenue, in which case I’d much rather pay directly to the authors.
re: Medium I was genuinely curious why people use it, thanks for the clarification.
still as someone who writes only open source codes, it goes a bit against my religion, but I totally understand if your income depends on it! thanks for the text, and for the “friend link”. as promised… ; )
