There is when your publishing medium gatekeeps you for no other reason than to drive its own metrics. (Also nice humblebrag?)
Medium is scum, I hope it burns
- marban 5y agoWhat's wrong with paying for text? I don't own a TV and I assume most people are splurging more on their cable in a single month than s/o paying for five or six web publications.
- senko 5y agoDo you get paid by Medium for your posts that others need to pay to read? (Edited: misread that you're also an author there). In my book, it's wrong to pay if original authors don't get that payment.

- senko 5y agoIt is my understanding that Medium will nag visitors to sign up and/or restrict access to your Medium articles even if you're not enrolled into its partner program. Is this incorrect?
