Sexist. Racist. Propaganda. Anyone can write an article. Even a monkey. The monkey could do a better job. Only a few decent writers that don't spread hate like the other 98% of writers.

Time will tell that the introduction of the paywall on Medium has been one of the worst decisions in publishing history. I think that Stripe is still the only, and therefore limited payment option for writers.

The self-proclaimed most popular publications on Medium have too many Divas as editors for my taste. I conducted a test recently. My article was rejected by one of these publications on Medium. I deleted it and submitted it as an answer on Quora. I got 120K views in two months!

So, my word of advice, don't bother with Medium publications. Invest your time and creativity in submitting your writing pieces to Quora Spaces. Medium publications like to brag about the number of followers. Well, I launched a space on Quora also as an experiment. I have more than 30K followers.

Truth to be told, your Medium articles can and will be positioned better on Google. I'm not an SEO expert, but this is a fact. However, when it comes to the number of views and long-term exposure, Medium is useless.

Grossly Unfair and Censorial of Opposing Views
March 22, 2023

Medium allowed me to write 14 pieces and to engage in civil discourse with other authors in the comment sections. But suddenly, my account was deemed "suspended" and "under investigation." No longer can my writing appear publicly on the platform, nor can I react to anyone else's columns. But that's not all...

The site's "Trust and Safety" team notified me by email of my suspension because something I'd written had been deemed "hateful." The team even sent me (via the same email) a very wordy section of its governing rules entitled "Hateful Speech."

As anyone would, I asked Medium politely in my email responses if they would simply cite the exact words that resulted in my censorship. After 11 such requests over about a month, they have not replied. Censorship seems to have been applied to me based on my views, not because of anything hateful. Meanwhile, there were quite numerous writers on the site whose retorts aimed at were meant to smear and insult me in childish fashion. There were both disagreements and reliable instances of my desiring to engage in discussion, but a rare few of these angry folks replied with anything substantive or content-rich. Almost everything toward me was derogatory.

The only response I've received from Medium is not easily explainable. An insufficient answer came in reply to my expressed desire to understand how my account's deactivation was considered fair by Medium with regard to the First Amendment. The reply stated the nonsensical attempted explanation that "We are a private company." Therefore, Medium provides what seems to be an open forum for public speech, but when it hears from writers with convictions they dislike, their staff claims that they are a private institution—as if this relieves them of the horrible responsibility of respecting the rights of all to speak freely.

Medium's judgment must be based on this grossly biased censorship. I pray for all this company's staff and for the wider generation of youth who care almost nothing for the Founders of the United States, for our Declaration or Constitution, or for the million-plus patriot warriors who gave their lives and limbs securing our freedoms. Medium's feelings-based ideology is the new Ten Commandments. Violate this policy, and punishment is sure to follow. While others are writing at a productive rate and earning money, I'm forbidden from sharing my views or experiences.

Blog elsewhere, my friends.

A series of racist rants, medium.com is an ill-meaning caricature of a platform for hate. Why is a platform purportedly by, for, and about African Americans entirely devoted to commentary about whiteness? Every article on the site reads like a Russian troll operation's caricature of black-splaining. As a platform for celebrating hatred and intolerance, it succeeds.

This app called Make Money! From medium.com is a complete fraud. I've spent the last month completing tasks with my very little extra time. And that is what was wasted, my time. I collected enough points from there system in which they owe me around $100. I've requested payouts three different times where I had reached completion of tasks totaling more than the required amount to withdraw and haven't seen a dime in my PayPal acct. They have responded only only once to my numerous emails asked about the eta of the money to my PayPal acct. The emailed asked me to answer these series of questions verifying my identity, which I did, then they followed with everything checks out and wrote I should be expecting my payout in the next day or two. It's been three weeks and still no money. I've sent 7 different emails since then with no response. There is only one thing against us as human beings in life. TIME. This app completely wasted my time and I'm sure they will waste yours too. When you see the make money app don't let it waste your time. Just move on.

I came across an article on medium.com named The Dark Side Of Modeling written by Evangeline and I was very disappointed. The reason why I was disappointed is because The writer dramatized her experience in modeling and was mostly bias/ less factual. In fact her modeling experiences sound very unrealistic. The writer stated that so many girls (the writer should provide a more accurate amount if they do not know the accurate amount then they should stick with the word some) are desperate to be models (This is BIAS) not a lot of girls are desperate to be models after knowing the fact that models get sexually harassed/abused and are seen as sexual objects (also known as sexy) not pretty. The article sounded like the writer just made up her modeling experience and tried to make it convincing with the help of pictures/ some facts. The writer was being very subjective and not sticking to facts consistently throughout the whole article. The writer does have the freedom to write what they like but they need to be conscious about what they are writing and how that will affect their readers. What the writer actual wrote in the article is not matching/consistent with the articles title. The writer also needs to be aware that if they are going to be bias then they need to write Opinion next to the articles title. Lastly, the writer needs to stay on topic not off topic according to the articles title. The articles title says The Dark Side of Modeling not What I think the Dark Side of Modeling is based off of my experiences in the Modeling industry. The article should've been written out from an objective perspective not subjective. The writer should keep the article in 3rd person instead of 1st person as well. This article does have some facts (which I appreciate the writer including) but still has a lot of biases in it as well which I did not like at all; I was expecting the article to be more fact based.

Unfortunately, most people all over the world don't have control when it comes to their personal finances. Most times, this is due to the fact that they're not well-informed when it comes to the subject. Don't worry; the article below has the information you need to avert a financial disaster.

Watch the global market by viewing the world news. Many people concentrate solely on domestic news, but those with investments that can be affected by global changes need to take a wider view. Having a good knowledge of world financial markets is a great way to get started o0n making positive investments for your future.

Never believe that a credit repair organization can guarantee success in improving your history. Companies will make a statement and say that they can fix your credit. However, this is a misleading claim because the cause of your poor credit may differ from the cause of someone else's poor credit, and these varying factors require different treatment methods. There is no easy fix that fits all. If a company makes such claims, they are false.

If you want to save money and time consider purchasing lean protein in very large quantities. Bulk buying is always less expensive since you will use all of what you purchased. A good time saver is spending a day making a week's worth of meals out of the meat.

Find out when it is best for you to file your IRS taxes. For a faster refund, file as early as possible. If you owe the government money it's better to just file near the date they're due which is April 15th.

If you are looking to improve your credit report, it is a good idea to have between two to four active credit cards. Using one card can take a while to improve your credit, while using over four cards can represent a lack of being able to manage finances effectively. Begin by having two cards, and add more cards as your credit improves.

Houses and cars are usually the most expensive purchases you will make. Your monthly payments on these items, including interest, usually makes up the biggest chunk of your budget. Pay them more quickly by paying extra or taking your tax refund and paying more on your balances.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, many people have issues with controlling their finances. Because of the information in this article you do not need to belong to that group. Use the advice you gained today so that you can live financially stable and free of stress.
