If it works for you, I probably wouldn’t give up on it either.

My only advice would be to repost your content on Medium as well and monitor which one brings you most results.

Give it six months to a year and compare the data.

Also be mindful of how much time you’re wasting tinkering with the backend of WordPress.

If you’re spending hours updating themes and plugins and tweaking a bunch of stuff, it might be time to rethink things.
