Medium is focused on medium to longform content. However, it is not focused on high quality content but rather the opposite - clickbait. It is sort of a grassroots buzzfeed platform.
- ggm 9y agoA lot of HN content is there
- masonic 9y agoA lot of Medium content is posted to HN without regard to its actual value to the audience. Much of it is posted multiple times; they customize their URLs to defeat dupe checks.
- ggm 9y agoWell as a net noise contributor, I've met the groucho marx test multiple times. But, whining aside, This feels like it devalues both sides of the deal: HN because too many repeats make it stale, and medium (if they're in on it) because its whoring links. Look, I like the look-and-feel. The style is minimally not obtrustive. I could beleive I could write in it, had i anything to say of merit. It .. sort of .. works?
