- sharkmerry 7y agoso medium is running a business? Did you apply and get turned away?
- timar 7y agoNo, I don't aspire to be a writer for a living. If I publish something I do it to share knowledge or for personal branding.
- timar 7y agoOfc they're a business. But in youtube terms. As a creator you either put your video behind a paywall,and not necessarily get paid, or your video will never show up in any recommendations. So unless somebody searches for it or has the link. Nobody is going to see it. And every viewer on youtube gets 5 videos a month. Has a bit of a bad taste for me.
