Summary
The author expresses frustration with the prevalence of content focused on making money, success stories, and recycled listicles on popular topics, advocating for muting such content to improve the quality of Medium.
Abstract
The author is disillusioned with the current state of content on Medium, particularly the overabundance of articles that prioritize financial gain, success strategies, and unoriginal listicles. These articles are seen as a detriment to the platform's quality and the author's personal feed. In response, the author plans to mute any writer who contributes to this trend, regardless of their role as an editor in various publications. The author calls on others who share this sentiment to take similar action to help make Medium a more substantive and engaging place for readers and writers alike.
Opinions
I am so sick and tired of articles about how to make money; how much money you’ve made; what to write to succeed; and worst of all, the plagiarized listicles about all the hot topics.
So, whenever I see one of these hit my feed, or hit my notifications for the many pubs in which I am an editor, I am simply going to mute that writer. Another editor can hit publish — I won’t.
If you agree with my sentiments and want to make Medium a better place, perhaps follow my lead.
