There’s technically nothing stopping you from doing Medium or Patreon right now alongside steem

Not really but, what is the point of crossposting on Medium for me? I don't have the time to engage there or spend any time there? Would it help with Steem visibility? it is unlikely to get much support.

Unless you’re the type that likes exclusive content I guess (I am really very not after a minor incident at DeviantArt which I may or may not have already told you about).

I like exclusive [ a Steem original ] :D
