Fell in a hole, got out.. Medium’s recap, financial turnaround… | by Tony Stubblebine | The Coach Life | Jul, 2025 | Medium

Medium 社長、黒字化までの道のりを語る。

Medium used to be 250 people and is now 77. I don’t know the full history of the several rounds of staff reductions, but I did lead one of them. I’ll just say both that no decision maker here was ever cavalier about this and that these reductions are also the reality of a business that was not succeeding. Medium is a healthy business now at 77 people and would be bankrupt with 250.

Medium, ほんとに writing experience は革新的で WP, Notion などライバルや後発を軒並み乱心させてしまった。しかしサイアクの writing experience と特段良くもない reading experience を誇る substack に完敗してしまって、ほんとがっかりである。もっとも substack がきちんと黒字化まで漕ぎ着けられるのかは怪しいものだが・・・。
