This. I posed identical posts on Tumblr and Medium for a few months, and the Medium traffic was always higher. The more people read it, the more traffic it got. If you put quality content on Medium, it's far more likely to be read.
It's not hard to believe Medium having more traffic than Tumblr, just wanted to understand how people measure this.
