Raise Your Hand If You Have A Plan B

My hands are glued to my side.

Unless you haven’t read a single post or title in the last twenty days, you already know Medium is going through it. My email has never been so bare. So, I am not here to complain or make any updates on whatever the heck is going on.

However, I am here to discuss my nonexistent plan B if Medium were to crash and burn.

I have been on Medium since July 2021. I have seen my fair share of ups and downs on here. Throughout my years on here, I have read many posts discussing the need for a backup plan. I’d tell myself, “That’s a good idea. What is my backup?” That’s about the extent of my brainstorming.

I am someone that gets comfortable. I don’t like change, and a lot of times, I don’t always like learning new things. Medium gave me a community and earnings that wix.com and blogspot.com never gave me. As a published author, I can honestly say that blogging is definitely my favorite. THIS is where I belong.

But in all my years, I have never seen such a fall like this one. When TikTok was banned for a few hours and influencers were worried about their next steps, it made me reflect even more on what I’d do if Medium died. What then?
