Where the quality of the idea matters, not the author’s qualifications. A place where conversation pushes ideas forward and words still matter.

Customer Reviews
Truly inspiring, and practically useful
I use Medium every day. Usually I just click on my personal suggestion notifications! And I go from there. Sometimes I have a specific topic in mind, and search & browse until I inevitably find something useful and thoughtful(quick experience!). There are so many dedicated and bright minds writing on medium about what they know best, and I couldn't be happier or more pleased to have found a place they like to congregate for the benefit of anyone who wants to be a part of it. Topics upon topics, minds upon minds, growth upon growth. If you want to use it to your best, personalize your experience as much as you can, learn as quickly as you can(easily done!), and be open to the luck of your life experience to find what you need. Thank you Medium!
I've always loved medium until this new home page feed.
Medium is a place where I find amazing writing. I can be immersed for hours in fantastic literature ranging from comedic personifications of movie sharks and in depth analysis of astrophysical questions to music reviews and political commentary. The new feed takes this experience and removes a vital part of what makes this app unique; it organizes into categories. The mixed feed allowed me to continually find something new. I've switched back to the old homepage but I worry that they may remove that option sometime. Please don't. Honestly this is an amazing format to read from but I leave it at three stars because I want them to see it.
Addictive platform, pathetic echo chamber
There isn't a better reading platform out there, and it has gobbled up hours of my time unaware. But. But for the platform's narrow, uninspiring set of parameters that its writers toil within.
Interested in religion? Temple-recommend LDS, bible-reading protestant, rosary-praying Catholic? No soup for you. Must choose "spirituality" instead: how I drifted away from my religion, into what I think Buddhism is. Politics your bag? Great! We'll let you choose from climate change, sexual liberation, or a universal basic income. Sorry, sorry. That may come off as too narrow, potential flyover country reader. Our Bernietopia might have room for a repentant Clintonite, BUT NO FURTHER!
Sigh. So I say God bless you ARC and FEE and, sorry there is no Christian equivalent to include in this sentence. But that's not a bug, it's a feature to the platform's editors. So, with regret, I'd advise you to invest precious reading time elsewhere, except to scan the technology section to see if it's got anything not emerging in your Feedly, Nuzzel, or Twitter.
But I just read Medium for the tech.
