Misandristic Website That Does Not Respect Online Anonymity with Echo Chamber Censorship
This is where incels trash talk about males online while having their stupid egos stroked through censorship that keep them in comfort bubbles, also known as echo chambers. Online anonymity is not respected here considering privacy-invasive email providers are required for registering accounts. All this website represents is a paywall scam with articles written by misandrists, incels, feminazis, virtue signallers, and the thought police through censorship while being owned by people who do not respect online anonymity because they stalk others for predatory profit rather than politely mind their own business.

Full of discusting articles written by sexist, narcissistic women. Misandry, dangerous generalisations mixed in with the odd self-centered pri## telling you that you're not good in relationships.
Self reightous, pompous sh## stains.

A lot of very low-quality content
I’ve been using it for a few months, and have found a lot of the recommended articles are badly written, full of spelling and grammatical errors, often extremely immature in their approach, it’s like it being churned out in a factory by 12-year olds. There is also a lot of ‘click bait’ and articles that are really just barely-disguised advertising for underlying products. I know Medium try to filter out some of this, but my experience is that only about 15% of it is actually readable and worthwhile, and I think all the junk really undermines the really good writers who deserve better company. I think Medium would improve if they can go for quality over quantity. and I’m sick of getting sent links to ridiculous articles with titles like ‘how to know for sure she loves you’….. (version 2 billion and 72)….

There is only black racist that loves to tell the world and well everyone else how bad and worthless we are and that we are nothing but evil but racism goes both way so shut up it's sad that it happend but those that live today didn't do any of that and not everyone thinks and acts like that.

I do not recommend "Medium" which is a writer/article site , not because of the product, but because of the lack of account support. The first year I subscribed, my husband was able to read the many great articles, but I had access.This last year, I subscribed and was able to use it almost 3 months. When I started getting the message that I needed to pay, I sent them emails and proof of my payment for the year. No answer. Repeated emails with proof of purchase have continued, and unfortunatly so did their non response.

Medium.com is getting an undeserved bad rap
This is a great site. I strongly recommend it. It has a diverse set of articles on everything you can think of.
I have learned a lot from this site.
It's only $5 a month (the price of a Starbucks coffee) for God's sake, quit complaining.
So it's a little liberal. Everything nowadays is a little liberal or a little conservative. It's the new norm. Get use to it.
150+ Million users per month means they are doing something right.
Medium.com does not deserve the low rating.

A 'high-IQ' version of twitter
A 'high-IQ' version of twitter. Or, the 'thinking-persons' twitter. I find the articles on history, philosophy and science far more interesting and engaging than anything you'd find on mainstream media.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.

HATE SPEECH
Medium.com presents itself, to those who write for it, as an organic, warm, family of poets and writers. It is welcoming and warm and there are some excellent poets and writers. However, it is also a place where jealous, arrogant, ignorant poets and writers weaponize their words and use them to slice and destroy those who are more popular. One would also assume that Medium.com would understand what "poetic license" is, or even what poetry is. Poetry can accept as "real" that which is fantasy, that which is a person's personal view of reality. So a poet or writer is allowed to present his fabulous Greek wedding, with videos and music and a seaside resort, to a fellow woman poet of his liking whom he is NOT marrying, while other writers and poets "attend" and "dance" and otherwise "enjoy themselves." This is what poetry can be: fiction. Or a woman writes poetry about her son who seems like he is a little boy. In fact, he is a grown man who is a little boy in his mind, who who watches Mr. Rodgers and sings along with Snow White and does his best to manipulate his Mom to get a hot fudge sundae. But, since she is at the top of the ranking of poets, a jealous and not so poetic male poet inquires public records about her background, discovers not only that her son is not a little boy, but where she lives, her phone number, how much money she has in bank accounts, where she has lived, who she has been married to, all sorts of "personal" info, and he publishes it all on-line, adding that she is a liar and is writing about "her little boy" just to get attention for herself. Suddenly "hate poems" that refer to her and her almost 500 published poems are being spread all over Medium.com. Her "friends" and fellow poets on Medium, out of spite, jealousy, or simply ignorance, actively participate in this "word weaponizing" and cut her down. Medium.com allows this "hate campaign," and does nothing to protect her. She is a top-ranking poet who brings almost 8000 hits a month and has 1600 followers in ONE YEAR of writing.
