Why I stopped writing on Medium
<p>This is the first thing I’ve written on Medium since 2021 (shock! horror!).</p>
<p>The reason I stopped writing here is pretty simple: I’d jump on first thing every morning and see a whole lot of stories I didn’t give a damn about.</p>
<p>All I could see were headlines about how to make it big on Medium, issues with Medium, how to make money, and so on. When I was loving Medium, I’d jump on in the mornings and devour articles and stories and bookmark others for later.</p>
<p>I couldn’t get enough of it.</p>
<p>But lots of things were changing, with Medium and with my writing career, and it just didn’t feel like this was the place for me anymore.</p>
