Why I Keep Leaving and Returning to Medium

And why I have left for the final time

I kept drifting away from using Medium as a writing platform, but something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on kept drawing me back. At last, I have finally discovered the reason behind this pendulum-like behaviour.

My Helter-Skelter Journey on Medium

Signing up

I first joined Medium on 13 March 2023. I had been running my own website for many years, concentrating on programming and website development. Then suddenly, I discovered that what I really wanted to do was write.

I needed to broaden my publishing base, so I tried Substack. I then realised that when I had been searching for topics on the Internet, articles published on Medium kept coming up. So, I decided to join Medium.
