Vocal Media’s Demise: I wrote about It Nearly a Year Ago

And well ahead of the curve in also pointing out that we are in the golden era of Medium’s dominance.

On my Medium feed today, there must be around ten stories dedicated to the issues that a number of writers have had regarding the inadequacies of Vocal.

This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Especially seeing as I had spent a huge amount of time on that platform, wasted so much money on membership fees and got very little in return.

Impelled by my experiences, I wrote an article about the uselessness of Vocal and captured as much information as I possibly could in my post (embedded it below)

Vocal Media Is Dead.

But given the human propensity for not listening and learning the hard way, I read every one of these articles from my colleague on their struggles and I was seriously filled with dismay; dismay at their failure to recognize that Vocal’s methods weren’t viable in the long term and one that will inevitably collapse.

What’s also interesting is that Medium’s competitors are all playing for scraps as they all seem to lack the ability to reinvent themselves as Ev Williams’s beloved platform seems to have.
