Medium's CEO, Tony Stubblebine, has reiterated the platform's dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) despite many tech companies reducing their efforts. In a blog post, he emphasized that businesses should not have to choose between inclusivity and profit, arguing that diverse voices enhance understanding. Stubblebine highlighted that maintaining a civil platform is crucial, where hate and disinformation are not tolerated. This stance contrasts with competitors like Substack, which adopts a more lenient approach to content moderation. Medium continues to engage over 100 million users monthly and recently reported its first profitable month.
