I would support it if it went through and talked about alternatives besides Netlify for hosting. Like if it talked about github pages, gitlab pages, etc

You're right. It doesn't even make an attempt at describing why Medium is bad. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this site.
Those are the arguments they are giving against Medium:
> Medium is very slow (compare). Medium's paywall is an insult to good journalism by forcing specific users to pay for content of often questionable quality. The Medium membership model doesn't work for several folks (likely you too). But, most importantly Medium dilutes your brand and negatively impacts essential metrics.
