Wattpad

Wattpad is a social storytelling platform and app that connects a global community of readers and writers. It allows users to read millions of free stories across various genres, write and publish their own original content, and interact with other members through comments and votes. The platform also helps discover and adapt popular stories into TV shows, movies, and books.

Wattpad is a strong match for the Medium concept. It provides a platform for writers to create and publish stories, and for readers to discover and engage with content. It explicitly mentions features like writing and reading stories, connecting with a global community, commenting on stories, building libraries, and discovering content through various genres and trending titles. The 'Try Premium' option indicates a monetization model, and the 'Wattpad WEBTOON Studios' and 'Wattpad Books' initiatives show a strong focus on amplifying stories, which aligns with the distribution aspect. While it doesn't explicitly detail a 'read ratio' or 'claps' for engagement metrics, it does mention 'comments and vote for your favorites' which serves a similar purpose. The rich text editor is implied by the ability to 'write your own story' and publish it.
