Right up until the underlying platform decides it needs a different model to support its business needs.
It really seems like there should be a middle ground: my ideas get published while ensuring your business survives. Right now, the two are independent functions.
I recently started using Github as my blogging plaform. I just created a repo called 'thoughts' which has a bunch of markdown files inside.
When I create a new 'post' I just share the link to the markdown file on twitter/g+.
I can imagine someone using this feature in a similar way. A super lightweight, quick, and easy way to share some content.
Sometimes just getting the content out is far more important than having a nice website or url.
