Medium is a new place on the Internet where people share ideas and stories that are longer than 140 characters and not just for friends. It’s designed for little stories that make your day better and manifestos that change the world.

Comment summary: Medium is praised for its user-friendly platform, making it easy to publish content without hassle. Many users commend the quality of the content and the engagement it promotes. However, concerns are raised about the increase in ads and exclusive content requiring membership. While the highlighting and commenting features are seen as strong points, some criticize the user interface and user experience. The subscription fee and partner program availability also drew mixed reactions.

"Only 3 articles" in the free mode A lot of annoying ads, nags to register and to download their app - all these covering at points up to 70% of the screen. No thank you.

Easy to use with interesting content, but there's an increasing amount of content that is only accessible with a membership.

We want to use it but it disclosed by indexing and we are looking forward for a new place for a blog. Medium is perfect with interface. Community is very poor in a lot of topics. It is a big bad. We want to have a perfect and professional blog (sorry, we cannot publish trash 1 post/30 min) but we have no possibility for people to find it. Unfortunately...

Comments can be problematic but this is nothing compared to what can happen with MediaWiki icon MediaWiki powered websites.

Yes this can be too high for very poor but how can very poor can get a pc or mobile phone in the first place.
