What has happened to Medium? I have been writing on Medium, on and off, for a number of years, but recently, since the 'flood of bots' and the action taken by the management, things have got even worse. Emails to the support team go unanswered. Dates suggested by those at the top by which we will be told what is going on are missed without explanation. The majority of subscribers believe that the platform is in a dire state. If you are thinking of paying your $5 per month to join I'd advise holding off until we find out what on earth is going on. If the Medium team reads this, please communicate with us.

Medium becomes a scam now! O paid the membership fee, then they sent link to request pay againl! I contact support , no respond!

Long story short they omitted crucial information in an email to trick me into paying a fee. Lazy and unethical and unresponsive, too. Terrible service.

If I could give Medium a 0 I would. I initially joined their paid programs to read articles I was really interested in and since I have a love for writing too I decided to give it a try and write a few articles there. I put my heart and soul to everything I writ, only to find that they revoked my account for no reason at all except for me violating something which they refuse to say. They don’t even have a real person respond. They only sent a generic email to read the rules. What a horrible customer support. Seems like this happens a lot on Medium and it’s a shame they treat people this way. Also after a month of reading articles it seems that all you see are articles where people are trying to sell you something. There is no authenticity in the writing. I deleted my account. There are so many other platforms out there that treat people with kindness and respect.

absolutely terrible. they say "make an account to read the article for free!" and then you make an account, and then tell you you have to pay to read the article...what?? they LIE to you to get people to make an account to boost their ratings. plus, why would anyone pay to read a low-level article when there are an infinite number of free news sites and papers, anyways?? stupid.

AI och scam i en häftig blandning

I originally signed up for Medium and paid the premium fee because of the content that appealed to me- science, technology, psychology, leadership, self improvement, etc. Then the election happened and 90% of my feed is how screwed up America is for putting Trump into office. I can get that type of drivel for free from lots of other sources. Not only did I cancel my premium subscription, but I flagged the daily email as spam. Medium will go the same way as major news networks and then, I guess, blame the ignorant readers for abandoning them

I stopped my subscription to Medium a few years ago for whatever reasons. But I am still recovering emails from Medium. I have tried to unsubscribe. Every time I clicked on Unsubscribe, it got me to the app. And I would be asked to check at least three topics I like and kept going. It seems to me this is a never ending cycle of subscription. Why Medium made it so difficult and painful for me to unsubscribe???!!! That just makes me dislike Medium more and regret the signing up at the first place.
