theringer[1] also decided to leave medium recently which makes me think that they have the exact problem that facebook/myspace had just in reverse. When you visit a site built by medium it is quite obvious due to their styling and format choices. I'm guessing that these media companies want to build a brand and it only hurts them if their white label solution makes them look like everyone else's site.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/30/business/media/the-ringer-vox-bill-simmons-medium.html?mcubz=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/30/business/media/the-ringer...</a>
Why would any site trying to turn a profit from its content be on Medium?<p>It's a great solution if you want to share content to drive traffic to your business that you can convert but it's never been focused on revenue.
