Medium launches a revenue model for publishers

I was really expecting something new from the Medium team. Instead, all we got was ads, promo stories &quot;advertorials&quot; in old media speak, media campaigns, and subscriptions.<p>Absolutely none of those are a &quot;better&quot; business model for publishing - they are exactly the current business model for publishing. And they are failing.<p>The execution is key, but so far, just more of the same.

I can&#x27;t say we didn&#x27;t see this coming but hopefully Medium will deliver something like YouTube Red&#x2F;Goole Contributor. I really like supporting content creators and boy do I hate ads.<p>Give the users a choice to choose how to support.

Paid monthly membership might be a hard sell to the end customer. In today&#x27;s information overload era, running a paywalled blog might be very challenging from the perspective of generating quality, captivating content

Ads everywhere. Typical.<p>&quot;Fake news&quot; coming soon to Medium.
