Off-topic: I see 'medium.com' and I don't tap because I can't face the pop-ups and nag modal. Sad to think, at one time Medium used to be the cleanest reading experience.

Might be against the rules, but here's a "me too." I've been avoiding Medium even before they became so blatantly commercial. Forcefully urging me to create an account and log in just to read a bloody article? No thanks.

I use the "Make Medium Readable Again" browser extension because of this. Firefox also has a reader view which I use on a lot of other sites. https://makemediumreadable.com https://makemediumreadable.com

I usually hate these kinds of comments but I have to: Please check out dev.to. It's a minimal, fast, developer focussed blogging platform. It's open source, and quite active.

  Dev.to has a lot of promise, and I visit there occasionally. I still prefer individual websites to blogging platforms, but Dev.to is the best such thing I've come across.

  All those true, but the site is terrible for knowledge discovering.9 out of 10 articles are garbage, written solely because now it seems every job applicant MUST have a blog.

  I really liked dev.to last year, but now the posts are really repetitive, apart from being mainly front-end discusion, I want representation as a back-end dev :C

I see medium and I don't go because most of the content on it tends to be very opinionated

I feel if people/companies could not set up their own sites or blogs for their technical opinion, then that opinion may be less useful to me.
