Censorship issues aside, Medium will eventually go under and you will be sad that you lost that 2012 article you forgot you wrote. The company has burned $132M with no hope of profitability. Mirror your stuff to a place you control, or there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth

Replying to @Pinboard
That article is horrible. I've only barely made it out of the "Living and dying on Airbnb" link by now and there's so much article and links left.
