Yes. Medium.com has a terrible reading experience and is full of garbage. Of course HN is still random and sometimes Medium links manage to overcome the stigma based on the strength of their content, but if you submit low-reputation URLs, you're reducing the chance that e.g. I will even bother to read it. (But I didn't read the LessWrong link when I saw it on the front page either.)
- latexr 2y ago> Medium.com has a terrible reading experience and is full of garbage. I once read a comment that said Medium is called that because its content is neither rare nor well done. Joking aside, the experience is pretty terrible. They inform you that they log user data and set cookies with no clear way to refuse (pretty sure that’s a GDPR violation) and every time I open it there’s a huge banner asking to subscribe. It’s such a pain, I’ve learned to reflexively close the tab every time I land there.
