What do you consider to be the better blog platforms?
A platform which doesn't encourage me to subscribe with popups, or stop me from reading without logging in.
Logging in is actually really easy. It's by email and doesn't use a password. Also, Medium uses subscriptions rather than ads to fund itself. I would rather have a popup or two than a shitty ad-infested website.
Ease of login is irrelevant.
They built a closed ecosystem on the back of a fundamentally open form of content.
