In 2024 GaryVee will no longer use medium

Gary Vaynerchuk is one of the early investors in medium.com

“Does GaryVee think Medium is dead?”

Do you know!? Gary Vaynerchuk is an early investor in medium.com along with Tumblr. He has mentioned it in his multiple interview videos. And the reason he invested in it is because of its unique dynamics, featuring a viral loop and human editors that promote quality content. The platform’s inclusive nature allows individuals to gain exposure regardless of social network size. Also, the opportunity for virality within Medium, makes it an attractive investment due to its potential to build an audience through quality content creation.

Garyvee started creating content on Medium as early as on from 2013. His first piece of writing was published on 23rd May 2013. It was about Why Taking Random Meetings Matters So Much. Which was just one year after the launch of Medium.com

The last medium story Garyvee posted on Dec 23rd, 2018 was about Gary Vaynerchuk’s Thoughts on “Hustle Porn” and it was published on The StartUp.

Garyvee seems active on all his other social media, like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Linked In, TikTok, and Twitter. But he has not posted anything on the medium for five years. Even after being consistent from 2013 to 2018.

And the fact is he has 294k followers, it's a big number. But comparatively with other social media platforms where he has millions of followers, it's just a fraction of the audience for him on medium.

I think that is the main reason, he didn’t continue sharing stories on medium. Gary Vaynerchuk's journey on Medium is pretty intriguing, but the fact that he’s been less active on Medium has made me wonder. The cool features that initially hooked him might not be working with the new moves he’s making on his varied social media platforms.
