I used to like it a decent amount, back when the quality of the average article was at least decent and the paywall wasn't a thing unless you explicitly enabled it. Now though? It's a goddamn trainwreck, with an obnoxious UI filled with modals and that irritating paywall (which you need to leave enabled to make use of most of the article promotion features) and low quality content galore. Indeed, something like 90% of the content there now seems to be hustle culture/growth hacking/self help bullshit or other such vapid junk. But I guess that's the way of every platform. It starts out with interesting, intelligently written content, then eventually gets buried under the flood of auto generated, SEO focused hustle junk.
