I put a good amount of time into medium and now I feel like an idiot because I feel like I should've done that on substack.

And your guys's opinion, which one would be better to blog more on?

Substack ranks for low competition keywords and the keywords that no one is going after.
Keywords that have allintitle like 0 or maybe 1.
It can't even rank for keywords with very little competition.
Its a waste of time in my opinion. Substacks have very little authority.
That could be because substacks get created on subdomains and we know google treats most subdomains as a different and new sites.

It depends on your goal. Medium is better for built in discovery and reaching new readers quickly, while substack is better for building your own email list and long term audience you actually own.
 
I think Substack is better if you want to build a long-term audience/email base, while Medium is more suitable for generating quick initial traffic.
 
I happen to try creating a new substack last week, it's bad news. Substack is putting noindex on new account articles just like medium.

Medium is also a waste of time in my opinion
 
Substack is obviously better, but there’s no need to leave Medium either, since it offers quick reach without having to do your own marketing. You can even use both at the same time: publish complex, in-depth, expert, or personal long-form pieces on Substack, and post lighter, SEO-optimized, or viral articles on Medium.
 
you have already invested a good amount of time in Medium. if you leave Medium completely now, all that time will go to waste. so, my advice is to work on Substack alongside Medium. this way you can achieve better results in the future.
 
Both have their advantages, Medium is better for reaching an existing audience, while Substack is stronger if you want to build your own subscriber base through email.
 
substack is better than medium for long time audience it will be run with low competitors keywords and i think medium just suitable for generated quickly traffic.
