RE: Medium Versus Hive — The Ultimate Guide With Similarities & Differences!

Great stuff mate, and congrats on onboarding your Doppelgänger XD. I do repost some of my Hive content on Medium, and I must say, it's quite difficult to 'make it' on Medium, at least so far. Oddly, it looks like your post has a better chance of getting seen if you agree to put a paywall on it, rather than publishing it entirely for free (although there are link to share monetised articles complementarily).

Apparently, they only curate content that's being monetised, though I could be mistaken. If that post does get into the Daily Picks for Medium, I believe there's a huge payout just for that. In any case, I find Medium less of a social networking platform. The most common forms of recognition are Claps, and how many people read your posts. There are no ways to earn through curation, and as you say, the payout system is kept under tight lips.

More importantly, it appears that engagement is not as prominent on Medium. Unlike Hive, or more traditionally, Reddit there aren't many back and forth comments/discussions, even if it's just one or two-worded replies. From my experience, it doesn't have the jests, open-ness, and chatter that we have here on Hive. There's more seriousness there, which would certainly benefit the professionals.
