Why is Medium filled with, what I call, celery? I consume articles, but there is absolutely no substance.

Is there some unknown incentive for these people to share empty “enlightenment?” It’s as if these people are becoming content farms being graded on number of articles published.

Anyway, this article is garbage.

Medium is very popular among people who are trying to be Thought Leaders but actually have no original thoughts to share

Ha. I'm stealing that joke, that's quality. I wonder if anybody's managed financial success on Medium/Substack yet with a "hustler inspiration" focused GPT masquerading as a guru. I'd love to read that postmortem.

Since Medium started I've said it was called Medium because it wasn't Well Done...

Offtopic: I’m curious to see how Substack fares and if we will have the same “Substack sucks” attitude from viewers that we’ve seen with Medium. Both it and Reddit are YC ventures and it seems like YC hasn’t moderated away people disparaging how awful Reddit has become in attempting to monetize/ROI it’s audience.
