I wholeheartedly agree. Medium is a cancer in the programming tutorial/article front.
Unfortunately, any such platform will be in due time be trying to seek income and will transform into such an ad-powered walled garden, whatever the good intentions in the beginning may have been.
What could be the solution to this?
- geerlingguy 6y agoGoing back to blogging and not expecting any income for your writing, mostly.
- entitlementgl 6y agoOr just stop doing it and let people like op RTFM as we all did and are now expected to transfer knowledge for free.
- ffpip 6y agoThey are giving free, unlimited place to host all your articles, and putting it behind a poorly implemented paywall (disable javascript for medium.com, incognito, clear cookies, proxy...Literally anything works)
- hmlongco 6y agoWhat's your solution? Like it or not, websites cost money to run. The more popular they are, the more money it takes. So... what? Spend your own money? Ads? Paywalls? Sell t-shirts? Try Patreon and hope enough people throw a dollar or two into your hat?
