This article is on Medium, which has a paywall. I’m a member, but not logged in. I was able to read it so it may depend on how many times you’ve read Medium articles.
One point he made that I found interesting was:
So, in light of all of this, should Reddit even exist? Is there really a point to a web forum in 2023? Aren’t we past all that?
He thinks we are. I never thought about it before. Maybe in the case of some Reddit subreddits and other forums, but I don’t think so in general. I’ve got a lot great information from forums.
That’s 99% of what gets posted to medium.com
Good to know, I don’t think I’ve heard of it until tonight but I saw enough to figure lol.
Was about to say the same.
Medium seems to be where all the people who used to post bad take blogs went to instead of self hosting
So a bunch of technically incompetent narcissists too busy with their head up their ass to realize no one wants to listen to what they say?
Sounds about right
I wonder what the overlap is with Twitter Blue subscribers…
Cross join
jeez you aren’t kidding
The top suggested article after that one was about men avoiding women because they didn’t want to make women uncomfortable and come off as creepy, and how men are terrible sexist monsters for doing this.
Are there any good takes on medium?
