I have to disagree. Even at NB's best times, Medium has way more value. NB is everything wrong with content writing. They can and will turn off distribution without notice. They will blame you for the lack of views and never hold themselves accountable even when they are clearly the issue.

Medium is a great platform with wonderful writers and readers. NB will never be the platform Medium is. I hate writing for NB but I do it because I need the money. I hate every minute of it.
