MediumReviews of medium.com

I am very disappointed. Monetise reading of not so good articles in terms of content at least from time to time is bad idea.

Fabricated "facts". No citations, no accountability for statements. Pure click-baiting and gas-lighting. Alternate reality fiction published to inflame, divide and sell ads to simple-minded, slow-witted individuals.

The medium.com site is filled with articles with phishing links. Some of the time these links redirect to legitimate websites, but at some point these redirects are changed to the scammers websites. People lost thousands of dollars this way. So do not click on links in medium articles! And if you do, double check that you arrive at a legitimate site before entering any sensitive data like login credentials!

I think it is a helpful website when you're seeking perspective, not answers, on many of life's talking points. Where I find value with it, and sadly lots of people don't subscribe to this idea, is that lots of writers share their insights based on experiences more so than statistics. This is especially abundant in the areas of self-improvement and relationships. This encourages the reader to form their own opinions and contemplate the message. On the internet, articles about cosmic theories and medical dilemmas that are backed with citations and bar graphs are really a dime-a-dozen. Not to say those articles are not helpful, rather that Medium.com has a platform where people can say "this is what happened and this is what I learned" as opposed to "these are the facts and here's ten other things you probably wont read to support these facts". Be warned, though; I strongly believe it's up to the reader to decide for themselves if what they read on Medium.com proves enlightening in any way, as there truly is twice as much garbled flotsam as there is inspiring jetsam. Some articles that are recurring or promoted posts can be really harmful. It is wise to be vigilant when it comes to what you read on Medium.com. Take small bites.

Spammed with titles, but unable to read articles.

A total ripoff. Same Ole same Ole on every opinion piece.

The articles I have read have been deeply thought provoking! If more people took time to read some of them I think the understanding and empathy factor in our country would go up exponentially. The only caveat for me is the cost. When I get Vanity Fair Magazine and Washington Post for far less, I think twice about about subscribing.

Terrible support
