I don't understand why people publish paid content. How the hell are we gonna read it. BTW, I've read the article and is not that worth subscribing medium.
You're paying for Medium? Would you say it's worth it?
$50 per annum is less than what I pay for the Guardian. I don't solely get my content from The G but considering the good work they do where it's _mostly_ or at least _more so_ unbiased in it's reporting than most. I feel the money to support that endeavour is well spent.
No, I am not paying. But I accesed that article withtout the paywall. To be honest, I am not agaisnt this kind of business model, but it's incompatible with HN spirit of sharing accesible knowledge.
Has there ever been a discussion on blocking Medium articles on HN? Almost every time a link is posted on HN a vast quantity of the comments are about how Medium sucks/is annoying.
Medium rots Google results and now it's bleeding into HN daily.
Most things are very generic and not any different from the million other blogs on "How to make your startup successful". This does not justify being behind a paywall.
But I don't fully agree with "Don’t take funding" as generic advice. I mean, sure, if you can afford not to, do so by all means. 90% of the founders don't have another choice. So, you will end up being dictated by the VC.

Don't waste your time on Medium.
