Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. It is noticeable that you write from heart. As you mention there are some cons. One of the big one is protecting intellectual property. Unfortunately it is not possible Anyone can access Medium and copy content. Even thought non-members can only read two stories some people found ways to access stories outside of the paywall. We can't do much about it. It is same for other writing platforms too. Your language and writing style is excellent. Keep up the great work.
