FOM - So Much for Inclusivity
I am one, not that I had much choice also, is $13.99 a bit steep
Let’s get one thing right
I spend more hours daily on Medium than on anything else! I love this place, but more so the people in it. However, I’m worried, not so much for myself, more for the person using Medium, enjoying it as much as I do, as much as we all do, but…
Here’s the Rub
Up to this week, there were two types of people on Medium: partner program members and nonmembers. As you know, there’s a third type: the rather exclusive Friend of Medium.
My concern is this
Just as program members stayed clear of nonmembers, are friends of Medium going to avoid average partner program members not to mention nonmembers?
Without realising…
Medium fostered a culture of exclusivity, the opposite of what they preach.
I’ve joined the Friends of Medium program only out of what I feel is sheer necessity; I mean, who will read a regular member’s story (apparently giving four times more revenue, knowing that when said member reciprocated, it’s for four times less?
What you reckon
I’d love to know your thoughts; let’s even get a discussion going.
Until then, happy writing!
