This is a brilliant article, Dr Yildiz. I always learn something new from your stories. I established two publications on Medium.com and gained no benefits. It was a total waste of time from a monetary perspective. But I made good friends there. Like you, I will focus on Substack, X Premium, and Quora more as you introduced articulately to us.

Thank you for making this clear about public publications. I don't have the time to maintain such. I considered starting a private one, but not with the current rules and other changes on Medium.

Wonderful piece, Dr Yildiz! You gave us excellent guidance in this short post. This is a must read for all Medium writers especially freelance writers after monetary gains. Your honest story will prevent disappointments.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences on this topic. I am new and I didn't know how publications worked. I was not aware of the time commitment either. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience
