New comment by smooke in "“HackerNoon is leaving Medium, but also trying to take rights for people's work”"

FYI - Tony is medium advisor. Unsure why he is making it his job to make uninformed comments like this. This is David from Hackernoon, letting you know that without the use of Medium at my last job, I recruited, edited and published 400+ contributing writers with the use of Wordpress. When I started there, the company started with no brand, 5 employees and barely any seed money. When I left, it had 120 employees, $60M+ in Venture capital, a brand everyone in the recruiting space knew, and I couldn't publish contributors fast enough. Medium helped grow Hacker Noon, but if what Tony is saying were true, there would be thousands of publications just as big as Hacker Noon building with Medium's content management system. Also, most stories published with us are not already on Medium, we have to painstakingly onboard them to be a Medium writer while Medium does little to distribute any of our stories anymore. We've spent thousands of work hours educating people on ppl on how to use this content management system.
