Do you really think so? So many times I've been tempted by a link to Medium, only to encounter an article that was a bloviating waste of time by a self-fellating author that took an age to load on mobile. Though I've certainly found useful articles there, I would by no means say that medium.com is a mark of quality any more than wordpress.com or blogger.com.

- fluxic 11y agoAgreed, it's probably no more trustworthy than WP/Blogger. However, it is more trustworthy than Buzzfeed or CorporateBlogger.com. Ostensibly, the average Medium post should be better because writers aren't paid (and hence there's no structural incentive to churn out 10x linkbait posts a day or to fill a post with sales copy).
