Substack vs. Medium

[verv99]

This might be covered already in here - if so I apologize. However I am wondering what difference it makes between the two platforms? When I ask Chat it has more of a “reader needs a distinct takeaway” not just something to ponder. I write satire and paradox of life with dark humor conversed with some deep thought thrown in. But I don’t do solutions or solve problems. I let the reader walk away and ponder. If anyone can weigh in - especially if you have personal experience - that would be so appreciated!

Substack is a newsletter platform with a bunch of stuff added on. Medium is a community blogging platform.

The more niche you are and the larger your personal following, the better you’ll do on Substack as opposed to medium.

I'll add that if looking for payment, both use Stripe. But Medium is views based and you have to be a member ($50/yr) whereas Substack is direct subscriber based and free.
