As someone who publishes notes sometimes it's always better to do on verified well-known cources: Medium, Reddit..so on. When I am ready to monetize the contect generated I'll need to be an editor at the zine or news site.. but it's next to impossible for me.
No, I don't agree upon that. At all. Plus there exist multiple platforms to help monitize user gerated context, say, the above mentioned Steemit or Taklimkan.
