you get broader reach with less effort, but at the cost of giving up control of your content.
And you never know when years of hard work will simply disappear.
I'm not even talking about being kicked out for expressing opinions that aren't trendy.
I once wrote for a large blog That just disappeared one day. It was after Google took over Blogger, and searching for help with the problem turned up hundreds of other people whose blogs disappeared. Some managed to get Blogger to admit it was a technical problem. A few for their content back. Most didn't.
If you're going to trust someone else's platform for your livelihood, make sure you have a Plan B ready to go at all times.
