Gotta mute all references to Medium.com on here. Few things fill me with as much rage as articles that bait and switch to "You need to make an account and use an app to read this". Writers that use medium for publishing: Fuck you, but only a little.
how it started: hey, we’re medium, just good clean writing and good clean reading, we’re against dark patterns, they just get in the way!
how it’s going: we’re medium. THE medium. we figured out why all those dark patterns exist, even invented some of our own. we’re so far gone, you couldn’t pay us for the same experience from a decade ago, get out of the way!
@mauve scribe.rip is your friend!
@mauve Honestly a lot of the content on Medium is clickbait anyways.
