Rationale
Vernus positions itself as a platform for buying and selling content by the piece, explicitly stating "Say goodbye to subscription fatigue." This directly contradicts the 'Membership & Monetization' feature which is a must-have for Medium. While it allows users to create accounts and implies content discovery, the core monetization model is fundamentally different, making it a poor fit for the Medium concept.

Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
