When I subscribed to Medium Corporation's service a year ago I did not read the fine print that they automatically make the annual charge recurring, now unwittingly incurring another annual fee. I now find there is no way to recover my loss. This is unconscionable. There probably was no clear indication that the annual fee was set to recur. Do not deal with this rip-off company. Stay well clear of these rip-off merchants.

I am going to highlight a bit on Medium's double standards (if it's not, Medium should come forward to clarify it). When it comes to SEO, we all know that Medium doesn't offer any of its individual contributors DoFollow backlinks. However, an individual site, owned by the founder of Medium's largest publication (StartItUp) is having more than 9k DoFollow backlinks. How come?

I would give Medium 4 or 5 stars for interesting and entertaining articles (hence 2 not 1 for what I am about to say). However - having decided that my monthly payment needed to be spent elsewhere I cancelled my membership (not plain or obvious) - which I did a few days after paying the monthly fee. So cancellation does not cancel your next and future payments - but allow you to finish the MONTH YOU'VE PAID FOR - but just cancels. So - Medium.com - nice idea - but somewhat trashed by an opaque (& potentially unfair) payment model

I’ve been a member for several months and within the past month, every article just stops and will not allow me to read, Any complete article It Freezes two paragraphs in Infuriated

There's a good number of writers who are politically biased and cannot report fairly on a national level and seem to be repeating communist propaganda. I believe this is called unrestricted warfare and are carried out by these writers attempting to change the minds of West to make people believe they are fair and peaceful communist countries are instead of numerous atrocities and negligence toward their own people. They mentioned no wrong doing of these governments and instead attack legitimate groups.
