Absolutely not.

I want to own my content as much as possible. Tech startups like Medium seem to have a habit of silently changing TOS and eroding my rights.

Jekyll / Wordpress are not THAT hard to use, and there’s a lot of free options these days.

If you care about your publication I fee it behooves you to learn a system that you have under your control - not opt into a pseudo social media site like medium. (Face it, they’re going to end up a “blogging as social media” platform)
