News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on Why I’d rather write in Medium than my personal blog.

Why would you post here on HN that you'd rather write on medium when you hardly participate here to begin with?

If it were a post with some actual content I can see why you'd want to post it here for discussion but it is a meta post about the medium you write on, not an actual post. Not exactly hacker news. Personally I think medium is the new geocities, it'll implode one day and leave another big hole in the web unless archive.org or archiveteam get there first.

Beware of who you give control of your content.

You're right. I was more active on Inbound.org vs Hacker News simply because I used to primarily write marketing content. The post I wrote yesterday which was actually a rant about the growth hacking buzzword hit the first page of HN momentarily. That obviously caused a server crash which made me want to switch ship to Medium / Quora.

Medium's editor was just a lot nicer.

And, I was talking about Medium vs my personal blog. Not really talking about Medium vs HN.
