If I could give zero stars, I would. Beware of Medium's subscription practices—they are not transparent and can end up costing you more than expected. I signed up for a monthly subscription, only to find out later that I was charged twice in a single month without any notification or explanation. When I tried to rectify this with their support team, I encountered nothing but frustration. Their customer service was slow to respond, and when they did, it was with generic replies that didn't address my specific issue. It's clear that Medium prioritizes taking your money over providing a fair and reliable service. Furthermore, attempting to cancel or manage your subscription is unnecessarily complex. They make it easy to sign up but incredibly difficult to opt out or stop charges from recurring. It's as if they hope you won't notice the extra charges or bother to cancel. My advice: steer clear of Medium if you value transparent billing and customer-friendly practices. There are plenty of other platforms out there that offer similar content without the hassle of unexpected charges and poor customer service. Save yourself the headache and choose a platform that respects its users. Medium, fix your subscription system and treat your customers with the respect they deserve.

I would give this a negative if possible. Medium.com has been charging my bank account for over 2 years. I keep disputing the charges and canceling my cards then the charges show up again without me giving my card or bank info or my consent. Meaning they are stealing the data somehow.

I just went on to Medium and discovered an article from someone favourably reviewing Saturn4u.com. I was scammed on this so-called trading site, and the FCA warns people against using it. It is unregulated and to be avoided at all costs. How totally irresponsible to allow this article!

I don't feel like I need to add anything. Just look at the tons of other 1-star reviews. My experience wasn't good, but it's been covered already by many others. I'm particularly sad about this because I've read Medium for years, and what they've become now is definitely something I want to stay away from. By the way, nothing screams "paid reviews" like having some awesome 5-star reviews amidst an overwhelming sea of 1-star ones.

DO NOT WRITE FOR MEDIUM - 2 different blogs I've monitized and they have stolen now. They give a vague reason and then even if they re-instate your blog they no longer show it to anyone. It's like a shadow ban. I've paid around $20 in subscription fees over the two blogs and been paid $6. The supposed earnings I was going to make before being banned are in the $100s. Nothing has been paid to me and today they removed my membership for the second blog. Still been paid nothing. I've wasted months writing quality content to be paid nothing. Absolute scum. Do not waste your time.

Not only was a large portion of my money taken each month without any explanation of where it went, but medium have now cancelled my membership without warning after I have spent years building up a large following, I've appealed and got a rude response back telling me it's tough and their decision is final - also taking my full month's earning with them. Shove your platform, it's terrible anyway and run by clowns.

Pathetic customer service. Tried joining but had issues. The response I got from their customer service was pathetic. Some one should write on medium on how to provide good customer service

Medium cancelled my membership for violating their terms. I called out a writer who does one article after another hating on men and then at the end of the article gives her web page out where she is an " embodiment coach". ( Whatever that is) I guarantee you if anyone wrote an article hating on women they would be cancelled immediately. The double standard is disgusting.
