I’ve been contemplating on this for some months now…closing down my publications on Medium.
It’s 2025 and I already decided to let go more than 3 side hustles. I’m optimizing for efficiency.
Medium is next.
It’s FINAL: The CREATIVETECH Publications will no longer accept writers or publish stories. I’ll continue to help writers grow online on Substack.
There are many reasons why, but I’ll start with the most obvious:
1. Community
My intention was to build a community where we help each other grow.
It perfectly aligned with what was (at that time) my understanding of the Medium’s new pricing tier “Friend of Medium”, and Medium’s strategy in general.
This worked really well, until Medium changed in May last year.
