> a website that allows you to write and read for free, but works like medium
I'd rephrase: A network of blogs, whose articles are discoverable in the same way as good articles at Medium. Somehow takes into account what people actually stop and read.
But not a single website. It would, I think, sooner or later, go greedy and self destruct. A single point of failure.
(Maybe not noticeable until after many years, when there's an owner shift, and the new owners have different goals.)
> it is paid
Who pays? The blogger, or the readers? How does the money get distributed?
