If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs

I was thinking about this the other day - trying to come up with an idea for a way to aggregate or recommend blogs to people based on what they'd previously enjoyed or the topics they were interested in. It took me several minutes to realize I was mentally describing Medium to myself.

Still, something doesn't feel quite right about Medium to me.

I missed the Medium boat and just looked into it for the first time maybe 6 months ago.

From a reader’s perspective, the content just seems repetitive and traffic-driven. There is a certain sensationalist slant that must drive views, and the articles rapidly started to feel samey.

I’m still subscribed to it but I doubt I’ll renew.

Can we talk privately about this?

Talk privately about my thoughts on blog sharing and medium? Sure - provide an email address and I'll send you a "Hello".
