Medium Reviews 269

Business model is profiting off of contributors without allowing growth or profit for the contributors.

Their User Interface (UI) is appallingly difficult. I struggles to change the name of my blog due to how hard medium is to use. Do not use you will be lost in the website making none of that money that you hoped for. I have got a trash blog that has got the title typed twice (Medium) and has got a tiny image of not the size I want (Medium does not let you change the image size). Stupid, I know.

Its no problem at all that you want to make money with your content, but showing up every time in the top og goole search and then not give any info at all without paying. That should be blocked by google.

Randomly suspending account with no reasons given. Lack of customer service support, resulting in ignored emails and tickets. It's much better creating your own blog then giving others the key to your content.

I have been enjoying Medium and like starting my day with a few articles. Well worth what I pay. I am mystified by the accusations of being "Far Left" or "Pro Trump". It seems we have collectively lost our ability to decide for ourselves what our own values are, and "might" be swayed by reading someone else's views on subjects. Medium is a forum. Ideas are just that. No one tells me what is "fake" or "real". I weep for those decrying their own agenda here.

I am writing this review because they are taking down my blog without communicating with me. The blog is about public awareness against a Real estate agent who was already criminally charged and still scamming his clients. Medium's stance to protect criminals does not do anything good to the public. Shut down your site and do not waist our time!!!

I am filing a complaint with Consumer Protection Bureau against Capital One and MEDIUM. I didn't authorized this $50.00 charges and when I first bought the one year subscription I did it using Capital One ENO application, so I don't know how MEDIUM got my credit card Information. It looks like Capital One is selling customers Information. I contacted Capital One to dispute the charged but they told me that MEDIUM is a preferer merchant, that they can get my information even if I don't authorized it. They are legally doing fraud and then they have the nerves to talk about donald trump. MEDIUM is a fraud.

Another garbage bias service it only like liberals as customers.

First they take over all the blogs by offering a decent interface and a free service.
Now since all the blogs are on Medium they put up an enormous paywall so now a decent percentage of the links I click in google have to be incognito. I hope they earn 0 dollar's.

You have to enter the site just to be rejected if you are not willing to pay.

Content is good but very very poor customer service and bans account and dont reply or give reasons, this is not right they need to do something about it

I have spent over 1 year in writing on Medium. But suddenly recently, they suspended my account without any notice. All my previous efforts are lost.
I have tried to contact their support via Tickets and email yourfriends over 10 times, but haven't got any reply yet.
I would never use Medium. And everyone should be careful since they are very likely to suspend your account one day in the future suddenly without any notice.

It is laughably racist. Perhaps it is written by the KKK? Certainly a horrible publication, to be avoided whether you are black, white, or any other colour.

They took a years subscription at 5euro a month without my knowing. I don’t even subscribe to the emails. I paid for ONE and never knew they were deducting regularly.
READ THE SMALL PRINT. DO NOT TRUST THEM

Left wing propaganda machine. If you want to feel bad for being white and using language to communicate, check out their plethora of articles written by woke bums that will attempt to open your eyes to how horrible of a country the USA is.

I learned about this from someone who started writing for Medium. They suggested I write for Medium as a way of bypassing the magazine marketing racket. Since I'm a veteran writer/journalist, author and expert on psychological issues (being a licensed therapist myself) I figured this would be easier than doing my own blog. I've also read articles by what I consider good writers that are well researched and/or topical. I still don't know the lay of the land as a writer on medium (how it all works), but I appreciate having a forum to write things that may not make it into conventional magazines. It's also a great way for new writers to get started. Maybe I'll change my mind down the line, but for right now, thumbs up!

Okay, I'm feeling a little bit out of synch with these other reviews, but I came here because I am ready to recommend Medium to my friends, family, and colleagues. I am attracted to articles I found were originally posted in Medium, following up with specific authors/websites and again, finding writing that I cared about. This curation, along with the opportunity to listen to many stories, makes Medium worth at least $5/month. If you care about writers getting seen and being paid (something), $5 is nothing - really - less than most beers, and some coffee and face/shaving creams.

I'm getting so many emails and recommendations on what to read and who to donate to - I delete most. I look forward to sitting down with a beer or walking in the neighborhood listening to Medium. I'm a new fan and I'm happy to pay for my subscription - 5 Stars from me!

Almost every medium.com article is either fake, or promoting a scam. I wish the damned site didn't exist in the first place!

I've only read acticles found doing google searches for things and every article had citations and were notated so you could see that they had been researched which I found very helpful when deciding if it was the truth or more trumped up garbage to appease the masses since everything is slanted to not hurt peoples feelings on most other sites.

I should have read reviews of this site before I subscribed to decide if I wanted to subscribe for $50.00 per year. I had previously read through FB shares some amazing articles and wanted to continue. So, I just did so without checking the reviews. My understanding when I subscribed was that I would receive articles in my inbox which I could read at my leisure. NOT! You have "a year to read" what they send you (which is a lot to sift through). I decided to suspend my membership until I could finish what I already had on my plate and which was sent to me within the parameters of my allotted subscription period. I was totally disappointed to discover that once your subscription has ended, so has your ability to read the articles that are already in your email box. I am off this site for good.
