This is all so exciting!
Even though I’m just one in the million voices on Medium, I’ve followed closely all the innovations around ‘fixing’ the (currently broken) content model, and I think this is an interesting idea. I wasn’t sure when I saw ‘Claps’ cross over from Medium series to the entire Medium experience, but this bit of context makes sense.
This looks like it’s predicated on the idea that eventually, all (or a significant number of) Medium members will become members, which makes me wonder how people outside of the wall can see value in remaining on the Paid side. As an example, I’m going to subscribe to Medium membership in a few days, but it’s simply because I’m curious. Outside of my current Medium experience, I don’t have a sneak-peek experience that tips me over and wins me over.
Rooting for Medium, totally!
