- LilBytes 7y agoYou're paying for Medium? Would you say it's worth it? $50 per annum is less than what I pay for the Guardian. I don't solely get my content from The G but considering the good work they do where it's _mostly_ or at least _more so_ unbiased in it's reporting than most. I feel the money to support that endeavour is well spent.
- meerita 7y agoNo, I am not paying. But I accesed that article withtout the paywall. To be honest, I am not agaisnt this kind of business model, but it's incompatible with HN spirit of sharing accesible knowledge.
- AJRF 7y agoHas there ever been a discussion on blocking Medium articles on HN? Almost every time a link is posted on HN a vast quantity of the comments are about how Medium sucks/is annoying. Medium rots Google results and now it's bleeding into HN daily.
- eli 7y agoDo you prefer ads? Or you just don't think writers should get paid?
- huhtenberg 7y agoAre you suggesting that Dan wrote this article to make money?
- meerita 7y ago99% of Medium aren't dedicated writers, journalists.
