Rationale
LearnDash is a Learning Management System (LMS) for WordPress, focused on creating and selling online courses. While it offers features for course creation, management, and monetization, it does not align with the concept of an online publishing platform like Medium. It lacks the core features of a rich text editor for general long-form articles, a distribution and recommendation engine for diverse content, and a membership model specifically for monetizing reading time on a broad content platform. Its monetization is focused on selling courses, not on a reader-based subscription for general content.
