I don't remember the beginnings of Medium, but I vividly remember Quora back in the day. It was full of successful CEOs, entrepreneurs, subject matter experts, scientists, etc. It was THE place to ask a question if you wanted high quality responses. Now, it is just a Google spam and growth hacking platform.

I guess the difference here is that low-quality content (however you care to define) mostly won't be paid for and likely won't even be seen. The concept is interesting although I for one am very selective about the things I subscribe to. (And I'm also pretty newslettered out in general.)
