I thought this was going to be about the blog site which I loathe. But it was a fun quick read about television.

Came in the comment to say exactly the same. It could be a title about the blog site .

  HN changes titles and it's getting stupid.

Since Medium is uppercased but none of the rest of the title is, it implies as much.

I still think it’s true about the blog site too

me too, I was to say that this is the greatest title ever for a post about medium, now that I see its not I'm stealing it

I practically chuckled and smirked reading the clever title with Medium in all caps Because this article does not deliver time for a repost with a newly inspired blog post... on Substack

Especially since "Ask HN: Please stop writing tutorials/tech articles on Medium" was on the front page today.

I think it is misleading on purpose. Some kind of SEO probably. The real title is "Television: It’s Called a Medium Because It’s Never Well Done". 1. "Television" has been removed. 2. "a Medium" became "Medium" 3. all uppercases have been removed except the one for "Medium" which makes it a proper name.

So did I. And when I read the word "loathe" I was hearing Jim Carreys delivery in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". What I particularly hate is when blog postings about programming end up behind paywalls. Sure well done if you find a way to earn a living, but I suspect that for most people it probably doesn't amount to much. Anyway, now I have another domain I'd love to filter out of Google searches besides Pinterest.
