It seems as if the second CEO in the history of Medium gives the blogging platform a fresh start and an exciting leader.

What most writers don’t know is…

• Stubblebine has been actively using Medium for ten years.
• He was an original beta tester and even shared office space with Medium’s team.
• Additionally, he’s the founding father of the “Betters”. Better Marketing, Better Programming, and Better Humans. All of them belong to Medium’s biggest publications on the platform.

Some changes Tony as the face of the company introduced were good (tipping feature).

Some were bad (“true follow feed” and killed curation”).

Additionally, a lot of creators think Tony has been talking about its “readers” way too much in the last past few weeks.

What about the writers?

They are the heart and soul of this platform.

Medium exists because of us.

Medium = writers.

Thoughtful writers get the readers-first approach. It’s nothing new.
