At first I really like Medium. I was following a specific company who posted their latest news on Medium. Those stories were actual official press releases from the company. Often there were really cool embedded videos. Easy to use and awesome pictures and videos.
But then I noticed something. I read a news story regarding the war in Ukraine. Interesting story but then I soon saw stories that were very one sided and slanted towards Ukraine. From reading all the stories you'd think Ukraine had beat the Russians ten times over. All you had to do was watch the traditional evening news and have an ounce of common sense and realize this was hyped content. It became very obvious when I started noticing ads from the authors complaining they were not getting paid fairly and then it clicked. Watch the Netflix documentary called "The Social Dilemma" and everything becomes clear.
From articles from wives crying about how they ruined there marriages by bringing in a third person for a threesome or going to an orgy (seriously, what did you think would happen), to a so called military expert discussing how the Chinese sent their top stealth fighter to the US to train with the USMC. All you had to do on this latter article was google Chinese J-20 in USA and you'll get reputable news sources give you the real scoop.
As a result of these examples and others, I have cancelled my membership. Total waste of money and more so my time. Watch the "Social Dilemma " before you spend another cent on the internet.
