Summary

Abstract

Through this exercise, she humorously questions the platform's content policies and highlights the surprising lack of limitations on title length.

MEDIUM HUMOR

How Long Can a Medium Title Be? Is There Even a Limit or Can a Title on Medium Go On Forever? Let’s See! I’m Just Going to Keep Typing This Title Until Something Stops Me. So Far, No Problem. Still Typing. There Appears To Be No Limit! Okay Then. I Guess I Can Fill Up the Entire Page With a Title and It’s Okay? And I’m Guessing that I Can Type Pretty Much Anything I Want. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star How I Wonder What You Are. Donald Jessica Trump is a Schmuck. La La La La La. There Appear to Be NO Limits or Boundaries When It Comes to Medium Titles! I Guess That’s Good to Know. Another Medium Mystery Revealed! Wouldn’t It Be a Hoot If This Post Got Curated? I Mean, It’s Just as Worthy and Informative as a Lot of the Malarkey That Does Get Curated. But Everyone Knows That Posts about Medium Are Un-Curatable. Is That Even a Word? I Guess It Is Now. Language is Not Rigid and Unchanging But is Flexible. Just Like the Length of Medium Titles, Apparently. Which Can Expand Endlessly to Encompass Any Drivel the Author Cares to Include in Them! Hey I Wonder if I’m Going to Start an “Interminable Titles on Medium” Trend! That Would be Cool. Okay, I’m Getting Tired of Typing and I Think I’ve Proved My Point. Feel Free to Create Your Own Endless Medium Title. I’m Thinking that “Endless Medium Title” Would Be a Good Tag But If You Can Come With a Better One, Be My Guest!

I Wonder If the Same Thing Applies to Subtitles. Could This Subtitle Go On Forever too? Probably. But I’m Not Going to Find Out! I’ve Done Enough Pushing Medium Boundaries for One Day. If I Don’t Watch Out, Ev Williams Will Become Exasperated and Throw Me Off the Platform. He Might Even Try to Take Back My Medium T -Shirt!

Author proudly wearing her Complimentary Medium T-shirt.

Yup. Medium once sent me a Free T-shirt:

It’s unlikely that I’ll get another Medium T-shirt for pulling this stunt.

But you never know.

Medium is full of surprises.
