Medium Reviews

Medium is bad

Even if the huge pop-up that takes up almost the whole screen tells you clearly that you can read premium articles when you subscribe people will close it immediately as soon as they begin reading an interesting article Afterwards in the middle of the article just when you re about to reach the good part it asks you to sign in to continue reading It literally says this The author made this story available to Medium members only If you re new to Medium create a new account to read this story on us This misleads people into thinking that once they create a free account they can continue reading However they ll find out that they still can t read unless they begin purchasing a monthly subscription This happened to me once but it was in a date that I can t set older than a year ago

AI content creation rubish and click bait

Another textbook example of adware and bloatware i got coaxed by a review of a smartwatch I have jusy bought looking for ways to activate GPS elevation tracking - a pretty basic feature of a decent GPS watch boasting ove 130 sports includingmany Mountaineering sports The article publish by some henry the tech chef guy or bot randomly described the many amazing apps that the wahtch can connect to and upload - no explanation All pure fiction submediocre cr p Rubish abuse of AI At the very bottom the article confirms that AI was used for content creation

Pay us to read content you as a community created

Medium sources its content for free from experts and innovators but then charges those same people to read content by others in their own community It is as if Medium have zero understanding of how communities based on sharing work Plus I can t exclude these guys from my google results These people deserve to be thrown in a pit full of TikTok influencers

An Amateur Joke Media Site

I joined Medium because I thought it was a real media outlet and I was wrong Yesterday I received an email telling me that my account had been deleted for violation of some policy I wrote to ask what material violated what policy and received a bland pro-forma response saying they had reconsidered the matter which was now at an end I still have no idea what the issue was This is not only amateur but it is a complete violation of the principles of natural justice I m off to a real media site like Substack

Medium will never let you unsubscribe

I stopped my subscription to Medium a few years ago for whatever reasons But I am still recovering emails from Medium I have tried to unsubscribe Every time I clicked on Unsubscribe it got me to the app And I would be asked to check at least three topics I like and kept going It seems to me this is a never ending cycle of subscription Why Medium made it so difficult and painful for me to unsubscribe That just makes me dislike Medium more and regret the signing up at the first place
