Interesting summation of [Medium’s current business philosphy](https://medium.com/@ev/its-about-business-model-4cb23333bc5d?source=linkShare-616a00ae793c-1502634346) from Ev Williams:

> If remuneration is not part of the equation for why you publish, I can’t imagine a stand-alone web site serving you better than Medium in terms of cost, simplicity, and, most importantly, reaching an audience.
> 
> If remuneration is part of your equation, you’re also in the right place, as long as you’re not looking to build an advertising-funded site.

(Worth noting: this was in response to a post listing [all the publications that have quit Medium](https://medium.com/marketing-communications-leadership/will-the-last-one-on-medium-remember-to-turn-out-the-lights-65a0f7878dad?source=linkShare-616a00ae793c-1502634811).)
