spanishcurls··on Why You Shouldn’t Join Medium
My favorite comment so far. And that's exactly what I'm complaining about. I like Medium, but wrote this to argue the difficult side; there are plenty of "pro" Medium articles. I felt like evening the teams a little :)
spanishcurls··on Why You Shouldn’t Join Medium
I agree with your bottom point, Steko. Thinking of Medium as an online newspaper as opposed to a blogging platform seems most correct. Perhaps Medium should further restrict personal customization and branding, like TechCrunch does with its writer profiles.

I found plenty of articles on the pros of writing on Medium but hardly any on the cons; hence, I wrote this to argue the other side and save some people time.
