I don't like medium, I post an article and I get 5 views. I feel like it's easier to get exposure here on DevTo. I also write on my own blog and since I write in markdown, copying the post on DevTo is super easy, in contrast with the annoying formatting used on Medium which always forced me to go through an article and fix headers and links
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
That’s not completely true unless they’ve changed something. I have a lot of views on an article that I wrote that isn’t part of a medium publication. It’s probably easier to do that, but it’s not necessary.

Not always true, ok, but I was quite impressed by the stats of my 3 last articles on Medium. I will let you guess which one I did not publish via a Medium publication.
Articles 1 and 3 required a lot of efforts to write, article 2 was an easy one. As you can see the stats are not proportional to that metrics.

On Medium you get views if and only if you submit your article to a Medium publication.

I can definitely see the increased readership with the publication.
