What Quincy Larson said:

I encourage everyone to run their own blog and not to become dependent on any one platform for >hosting their blog posts - only for publicizing them through cross-posting.

I 100% agree with this. Run your own blog and then syndicate content to any other platforms.

It’s be nice if he said this before making the move and damaging the content of everyone who published part or all of their work on their site. You can’t preach the high ground after forcing everyone down a few levels without telling them. That’s like breaking someone’s leg and telling them if they want to be in good shape they should try running.

Yes, that's true. I guess I meant it as a more general comment - I personally believe it's always a good idea to publish on your own blog and then decide where to syndicate.

That’s fine, but in the context of this article it was a rationalization of FCC treating their content creators so unfairly. Which I don’t think is good as do most people who have written for them.
