Rationale

Wattpad is a strong match for the Medium concept. It provides a platform for writers to create and share stories, and for readers to discover and engage with content. It explicitly mentions a 'social storytelling platform' and features like 'reading or writing original stories,' 'connect with a community of story-lovers,' 'comment directly in stories,' 'Wattpad Premium' for ads-free reading, and 'Wattpad Studios' for discovering writers. The platform also supports user profiles, reading lists, and search/discovery of stories by genre/topic. While it doesn't explicitly detail 'reader engagement metrics' beyond community interaction, the core functionalities align very well.
