Medium will slowly learn what you’re interested in and send you opt-out’able weekly newsletters with recommendations.
I’m surprised the OP has this much distaste for a platform which not only has good content, but rewards such, yet without ads. I’d happily pay to see less ads in my life.
There's quite a lot of mileage in what this guy says, and the "content behind walled garden" thing pisses us all off (I'm a non-Facebooker for All The Usual Reasons and have the same response whenever I see stuff "published" there). But: noone seems to have mentioned the fact that you can publish on WordPress and use the Medium plugin to copublish to Medium. It deals with the whole canonical content / SEO thing, you…
If someone can find your work on medium, why would the bother to find your site and read it there instead?
I was writing on Medium because it ranks well in Google. I wrote nearly a dozen really great articles on primarily health and dietary supplement topics. After 2 months they started to rank well and were getting daily readers, as the content was really great. Then I wrote an article on a 'research chemical' and they banned my account overnight. I lost the final edited versions of all content. They did not send me a zi…
I wonder if anything has changed since GDPR passed as I am pretty sure you are suppose to be able to download your content but I'm not sure how that works when accounts are deleted and/or banned. Regarding your situation and concerns of other comments... Many people in this thread point out that marketing and creating an audience is difficult work. But I think obvious-in-hindsight solution is to always keep a backup…

It's better to create your own blog, and get traffic overtime. Why they earn money on your content?
I do have a personal blog instead of Medium. But it's definitely not about the money.

GDPR covers personal data -- not content.

Also you can choose on a post by post basis to publish to Medium or not, and to different publications there, so you could have your site as a hub holding all your stuff and niche audiences on your Medium pubs. Stuff like that.

That’s interesting - does the canonical tag identify the Medium article or the WordPress article as canonical?

Hm hm, are you sure? And what is the difference between personal data and content? My pictures are pd or content? And if I publish them?
Now, obvliously, the content may contain personal data, or possibly be personal data (if it's pictures of people) and in that case I assume it would be covered.
Funny how from "All to Medium, ditch WordPress and personal blogs" now people want to go the way around because of metered views and other limitations imposed by Medium popularity. I say it since ever: own your own content.
But you don't really own your WordPress. No way to get around using their services if you want to have proper spam filtering.
