## Highlights
- On the internet, seven minutes is eons.
- “The truth is people still read,” Williams tells me. “All day long.”
- “We’re not limiting ourselves to advertising,” he says, stressing that Medium won’t become a mess of banner ads but instead “sponsored” content.
- “If you’re a quality journalist or content creator, I think you can find an audience, I think you can find engagement, and I think you can find money.”
