Thanks for sharing this interesting article, Babbling Biologist! I agree that Medium is an excellent platform for both readers and writers, and the diversity of topics available here is one of its biggest strengths.

It's also true that there is less pressure to focus on SEO and keyword research on Medium compared to traditional blogging platforms. I think this is because Medium's algorithm is designed to prioritize high-quality content that resonates with readers rather than just the most popular keywords or search terms.

I also appreciated the fact that Medium doesn't feel like a typical ad-centric or online store-focused platform. It's refreshing to have a space where writers and readers can come together to share their ideas and connect without being bombarded by advertisements or product promotions. I really love Medium for this reason! I've noticed that the platform rewards unique and original stories rather than generic or formulaic ones. In fact, I wrote an article about my thoughts on what kinds of stories Medium demands from its writers - you can check it out here:
