We are planning to move our blog off of Medium (we've been busy!), but this post is public so you can actually just click through the nag screen if you see one.
> Is it really that much of a burden to host a mini blog?
The problem is not that it's a hassle to setup and maintain, but that discovery and network effects are a lot smaller when self-hosting. Being on Twitter and Medium gives you a lot more readers from the get-go, just because of the built-in discovery.
I still self-host my own stuff, but I would lie if I said I didn't understand why people use Twitter and Medium for hosting their content.
