Every nights I read through the hackernews posts of the day which didn't reach the front page for my newsletter. Every time I click on a medium posts and that I click "previous" the page freeze during 1-2 seconds.
Therefore I have a ban on Medium posts. When medium.com is in the URL it is automatically discarded, unfortunately they offer white label domain so I happen to click on some of those links.
Also I didn't do stats about it, but if you want to blog about something and do it on Medium you have a much lower chance to be featured on HN (not talking about others forum ). Choose wisely. HN is not the center of the world but there are only a few places that can offer 50k visits
- laurent92 5y agoTip: Add this line to /etc/hosts (after finding the exact domain names they use): 127.0.0.1 medium.com w3schools.org
- codazoda 5y agoThis doesn't work for me because I forget that I redirected a specific host and end up troubleshooting my network. Especially if a few medium articles showed up at the same time, months after I blocked it.
- SirYandi 5y agoMaybe setup a custom 404 locally on a pi or something and redirect to that instead?
- JohnFen 5y ago> unfortunately they offer white label domain I always feel a bit tricked when I encounter that, myself.
- maxmax_ 5y agoHah, it’s you! Thanks for doing that effort, I enjoy every day when your newsletter hits my mailbox! But I can only agree with you, the Medium experience is really one of the worst you can have when reading a blog.
