The Great Medium vs. Blog Dilemma: A Journey in Digital Storytelling

There’s something deeply satisfying about building your own little corner of the internet. You know, a place where everything reflects you — your thoughts, your design quirks, even that random AI-generated image you tossed in for fun. For me, that place is my personal blog.

But then, there’s Medium. Ah, Medium. The platform where you can write a killer post, hit “publish,” and within a few hours, you could be making $100–200 a day. Sounds like the dream, right?

Well, I’ve been there. I’ve done that. And I’ve walked away with more questions than answers.

A few years back, I stumbled onto this platform called Earth 2. The idea was pretty wild — a virtual world where you could buy, sell, and trade virtual land. It was all anyone was talking about in certain circles. Naturally, I thought, *Why not jump in?* So I wrote a series of posts on Medium about Earth 2 — tutorials, insights, maybe a little speculation here and there. And guess what? The cash started rolling in.
