I paid the yearly fee for two years up until 2020. There were a handful of authors and topics I liked on Medium. Those authors have since left the platform. The topics I’m interested in kind of dried up with not much worth reading these days. I don’t care so much about the paywall. It is the low quality of content that pushes me away. Writers saw an opportunity to make money on Medium. This gradually dragged down the overall quality of writing on platform, and likely the reputation of the platform itself. These days whenever I do click through to a Medium article, it rarely delivers on its title.
