I’d be careful about wholesale dismissal of Medium. It has many, many personal blogs; some, rather badly-written. The platform may be slick and polished, but the content is a different matter.

Some of the best tips and techniques that I’ve learned, have come from "scruffy" Medium posts.

My own presentation tends to be highly-polished, but that’s because I’ve been writing all my life (never professionally). Not many folks read my writing, but it’s something in which I take some pride, so it comes across in a fairly slick manner.
