It still boggles my mind how companies like Medium and Substack have managed to create hype about their 'revolutionary platforms' which are... literally just blog hosters

@nev @joepie91 I think what played a role is that Medium came up around the time that Retina displays became popular, so that improved the benefit of good typography. Blogspot still looks like a 2006 website (which is not a bad thing IMHO)
