Rationale
Apple Podcasts is a platform for consuming audio content (podcasts), which aligns with the distribution and recommendation aspects of the 'Medium' concept. While it doesn't focus on written content creation, it offers a similar consumption and monetization model for audio. It has a recommendation engine, subscription monetization, user profiles, tags/topics for discovery, audio playback, mobile app access, social sharing, and search capabilities. It lacks a rich text editor, reader engagement metrics (for creators), and community feedback tools as it's not a writing platform.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
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.
