So, no mods anywhere? You could make the same argument that deleting spam is censorship.

  We accept certain limits on free speech, even when the First Amendment applies. Encouraging a few powerful companies to censor anything they like, without restriction, because their platforms are private property is different from accepting reasonable censorship.

    So go start your own! Medium is only 3.5 years old and are just now talking about revenue. Sounds like there is plenty of room for competition. Free speech doesn't mean anyone has a responsibility to build and offer what you want the way you want it just because you want it. Censorship is a real thing, like when the president of Turkey prosecutes people for insulting him. There are phrases that literally may not be said in that country. Medium isn't telling you your speech isn't legal, but they have no obligation to lend you a megaphone.
