Unsolicited advice: The best media/social networks do two jobs:
1) Allow creators to make content (Medium does great at this, Ev’s eye for product was key here, but always room to improve)
2) Match that content with the correct/largest possible audience, like how twitter has hashtags/trending, FB has the friend graph, and ultimately Tik Tok has the algorithm (Medium is awful at this and if I were you, I’d focus immediately on solving this).
