I agree. Medium is riddled with advice articles written by "Motivational Speaker and Coach living in San Francisco" types who have never done anything consequential. It's also turned into a speaking podium for womens' rights activists who I frankly don't care about. Not to mention 50% of the articles there usually starts with "You're all missing the point of X".

Rather read a real book about people who have actually done great feats. Elon Musk's biography, and Pixar's Creativity Inc have had much better advice than the fluffy articles I see on medium.

Props to this guy for having the balls to speak honestly about Medium.
