As if to prove his point, the 'recommended' articles below the post from 'Life Lessons' are: * 'Whatever you do, just start.' * 'How to build the self confidence you need.' * 'Even a genius has to sell himself… the remarkable resume of Leonardo da Vinci' Written in turn by a founder, a marketer, and the author of 'Massive Life Success.' The recommendation algo seems to be serving a heavy dose of irony today. The OP is right- Medium is drowning in trash, and kudos to him for saying it. Edit: It's quite possible that Medium is going for the 'mullet' strategy of HuffPo. If you go to the front page of medium.com - it's okay, it's not exactly super high quality, but it's not the kind of crap that gets punted around on email and social. Maybe that's what they're going for? If so, shame.
