Medium seems like it's full of a bunch of pretentious people posting articles that aren't good enough to publish in a reputable journal. And they're being gatekept behind a paywall. If you're going to send me an email full of interesting articles, let me read them. I'm out, there is not enough time in the day to read two paragraphs before being begged to pay. At least it has dark mode.

Big fan. the interface is clean, suggestions are pretty good, has dark mode(thank god!), notifications are minimal and welcomed (usually just a great "daily read" 1x per day). I usually don't write reviews. I usually don't download apps that have associated web pages I could just visit, and I'm often quick to turn any app notifications off. Well done Medium.

Medium is my top choice for writing articles, especially about the history of my village. It’s super easy to use, beautifully designed, and makes publishing feel professional—even for beginners. I love how it helps me reach a wider audience and share my culture and memories with the world. Highly recommended for writers and storytellers!
