Scribd

Scribd is an online document sharing and reading platform. While it doesn't focus on long-form articles in the same way Medium does, it allows users to upload various document types (rich-text editor implied for content creation/upload), offers a subscription model for ad-free access and downloads (membership monetization), has user profiles and following capabilities, categorizes content with tags and topics, provides mobile app access, allows social sharing and embedding of documents, and has a search and discovery function. It lacks explicit features like a recommendation engine for stories, detailed reader engagement metrics for writers, or community feedback tools like claps/highlights, which are central to Medium's model.
