I don't know in the big picture. Here's my personal experience, though.
I never really thought that Medium was an attractive place. It had so many annoyances about it that I didn't develop a regular habit of going there. Then, at some point, it became even worse with paywalling and other additional irritations. I rarely even follow links to Medium anymore.
The actual writing quality was OK at first, but it also plummeted.

interesting. i wish there was a social blogging platform that had interesting posts to learn about things, and a way to compensate writers without ruining the whole experience.
