I have a self hosted blog currently, and I’m considering posting it on medium.com

I blog mostly for fun and I have not tried to monetize it. Are there any reasons to not use medium?

What about alternatives like substack?

    It requires an email to even read the first article, or at least has appeared to any time I’ve tried to go over there and read stuff

    Most places that do that, I am fine putting my email into, sometimes even paying for them, but for some reason I don’t understand, medium.com has some kind of anti Feng shui that makes me just hit the back button annoyed any time I click on an article and the thing pops up. It’s like somehow their web site design has it timed and positioned at the perfect psychological moment to create irritation

    It is purely irrational and purely only my personal reaction to it but that is how I react to it
