Eh... extremely much larger exposure? Those playing the game of posting on Medium and Linkedin are gaining the game of reachability. That's the point of publishing out content.

What is that large exposure? How does the article reach more readers because it is on Medium?

Because:

* It is linked (vs. a post in a personal blog post which would only be indexed by search engines) * There is a large community of users on Medium, and posts are easy to share. * Medium highlights popular posts.

    It is linked
Linked from where?

    Posts are easy to share
How can sharing be easier then ' read this: https://blog.ai-academy.com/3a79cac4c9c2 '?

    Medium highlights popular posts
But is it worth all the downsides? The post is on the HN frontpage, yet it only has 51 likes on Medium. How much additional readers does such a post get from Mediums free marketing?
