Unless you are in HR and need to participate in the circle jerk why both with medium? You might as well use literally any other platform including blogger. No one is reading anyways. Medium used to have interesting content once upon a time. They are a player in that industry like all is a player in internet access.
Same reason people put up with YouTube's nonsense. It is where the money is at. I agree with this post for the average blogger, but if your end game is to build a career off of writing I, medium kinda becomes a necessary evil.
