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.

Medium is an online platform which is designed for writers to showcase their talent, share their stories, build readership, and create a community of people who cherish their work and give feedback. It is one of the best platforms for writers, especially beginner writers, to start their journey. It is also a great place for readers to learn new things and get in touch with their favorite writers in real time. There are as many topics as one can think of. One can customize what they should be shown which is my personal best option on Medium. But wait a minute, they also pay you on Medium. With Medium Partnership Program, writers can get paid for their stories. Some writers make hundreds on dollars on Medium which is a great incentive for many to keep publishing quality content on the platform. One thing that I don't appreciate is the increasing assault of AI generated content on Medium. Hundreds of such articles are being published every day and thousands of people are just there for reciprocal activities in hopes of earning a few bucks. Although the moderators are doing an excellent job at filtering and terminating such practices but it's not enough to keep a well balanced environment. This can sometimes lead to frustration due to which I'm giving Medium 4 stars out of 5. It's worth the time if you want to learn, explore, and interact with some of the best minds from around the globe.

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.

They dont provide author support or resources video, music or podcat uploads and they have seven subs. when I tried to upload my content the arrogant songes tried to charge me fir the use of MY IP!!! Not a serious platform just predatory hacks offering nothing but an of the shelf website and nothing else. Rancid and toxic drain on our industry.
