Also annoyed. Turning a freaking blog platform into a walled garden is an absolute farce. What value exactly does Medium add over WordPress? It's trendy and newer? Has a more "minimal" design? The gimmicky inline comments? I've added Archive.is' Firefox addon and my default is to read Medium (and many other sites) as archives.
I really wish that search engines would start indexing these sites as humans see them. Maybe Brave can take a stance like that.
- zo1 5y agoI avoid medium by default these days. Problem is more and more of these pay walled sites are "oddly" starting to appear near the top of search results. Even though that same data or news exists on non pay walled sites/blogs. TowardsDataScience is another one. I know it's not the same but the rise of "Axios" feels just as artificial or pushed. Like all of a sudden it popped up and everyone is "what do you mean you've never heard of them, they're a top news organization." Yet the first time I heard of them was watching an interview they did where the journalist was interviewing a major politician whilst holding a look of absolute disgust on their face.
