Ev Williams to step down from Medium

Good luck Tony.

I've been using Medium as a reader, writer, and subscriber for some years. And nowadays I am unconsciously not using Medium as much in profit of Substack and Ghost. My main draw to Medium as a writer was to reach lot of people. A random paywall means less reach. Not sure if max reach and paywall are reconcilable and solvable.

But you choose yourself if you want to paywall an article. If you don’t like paywall articles then don’t create them. What am I missing?

When I wrote the article on Medium, it was no paywall.
