Rationale
Day One is a journaling app, not an online publishing platform like Medium. While it offers features for writing and organizing personal content, it lacks the core 'Distribution & Recommendation Engine' and public-facing community aspects that define Medium. The monetization is for premium features of the app itself, not for content creators based on reader engagement. Therefore, it does not align with the must-have features of the described concept.
