I have not started posting yet.
But from a end user's perspective in regards to Medium, I am capped at 5 articles a month.

So for those that publish on Medium, I am sorry.
At this time I do not have the 5$ a month to spare, since I just started a bootcamp.

I have even tried some tricks that other recommended, like using incognito mode, but I think Medium got on to that trick.

Some of you may want to look at switching to Free Code Camp also.

Thanks for all your insight , you are invaluable to me on my journey to do a career change into development.

That makes sense!

I got a little turned off of FreeCodeCamp articles based on reading this article on here. I know that the full switch happened, but what keeps them from doing it again? I agree with their decision to leave medium, but it sounds like the authors were blindsided by this decision.

I totally understand , and FCC did acknowledge and make things right with authors.
But their decision was based on the very issue of this post.

People were not getting their posts read or viewed.

People who could not afford to pay for helpful, and insightful information did not have access to it.

I'm glad they made things right.

It makes sense to have information accessible, which is why I use both Medium and Dev for my articles. :)
