Control your presence in the world. Always own your platform.
I don't care if you're a writer with dozens of books, an artist known across the world, or a young punk cutting your first theremin-and-thrash-guitar demos.
Control your creative work.
Sites that "make stuff easy for you?" Who "handle the grunt work" for you? They do not put your interests first.
"I'll leverage Medium until I'm famous, then go full indie?" No. You've built up Medium, not your name.
