It's true of content where “performance” is based on driving attention, whether it's directly paid that way (Medium) or indirectly paid that way (anything advertising supported).
Content that is intended to “perform” by serving the interests of a direct audience or sponsors (direct subscriptions without ads, patronage model, nonprofit backed mission-oriented content not supported by ads, or, for that matter, most for-profit backed content published to support corporate interests rather than as a direct revenue source) doesn't share the problem, though some of those categories may have their own different performance-model based problems.
