Medium’s New CEO — “It’s Not Medium’s Job To Give You Full-Time Income”

Use Medium as a vehicle to success, and not the destination.

This morning I tuned in to watch Zulie Rane’s live interview with new Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine.

I was interested in hearing about the new CEO’s vision for the platform.

He’s already gotten a headstart by fixing bugs on the platform as it relates to notifications on iPhones.

Throughout the interview, Tony re-iterated his commitment to maintaining a platform that makes it easy and simple for writers to publish

Here are some of the major talking points that came up during the interview linked below:

Medium’s focus is to create a smooth writing experience for writers.
2 Pillars of Medium ( Doubling down on publishing tools & doubling down on the quality of subscription)
Pushing for real focus on the platform.
Medium will “Raise the subscription bar”
How does raising the bar affect writers? You get paid more when you exceed the bar. But you’ll have to do more work. What more work here means is — completely dependent on you.
You’ll have to push yourself to become a better writer.
Fewer articles selected for distribution. But you get paid more.
Medium is not going to encourage you to write an all topics. This will pressure writers to specialize.
Use Medium as a place to practice, build a portfolio, and get creative. What works now, might not always work for you.
Medium is not a place to make a living, but find the information to make a living.
Use writing to open a path to expertise, which then opens doors to more opportunities like writing, speaking, consulting, teaching etc
Think of Medium as a vehicle to success and not the destination.
Will more countries be added to the MPP? He needs to look more into it. He doesn’t know yet.
Custom domains could be made possible once again.
No strong stance on whether the mobile editor can brought back.
Bonuses are not aligned with everyone’s interests.

These are some major talking points that came up during the interview.

You can check it out yourself and share your insights.
