Welcome to the Hotel Medium

There aren’t enough eye-rolls in the world for this one:

The time you spend building your site and trying to use it to find a way to turn a profit could have been used to build you a valuable platform here on Medium. A platform the highest paid on the stage made $14,000 on last month.

You can check-out any time you like But you can never leave.
