I thought this was going to be about the blog site which I loathe.

But it was a fun quick read about television.

I still think it’s true about the blog site too

I think it is misleading on purpose. Some kind of SEO probably. The real title is "Television: It’s Called a Medium Because It’s Never Well Done".

1. "Television" has been removed.

2. "a Medium" became "Medium"

3. all uppercases have been removed except the one for "Medium" which makes it a proper name.

Especially since "Ask HN: Please stop writing tutorials/tech articles on Medium" was on the front page today.

Came in the comment to say exactly the same. It could be a title about the blog site .

I practically chuckled and smirked reading the clever title with Medium in all caps

Because this article does not deliver time for a repost with a newly inspired blog post... on Substack

Since Medium is uppercased but none of the rest of the title is, it implies as much.

It might well be appropriated for the former...

So did I. And when I read the word "loathe" I was hearing Jim Carreys delivery in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

What I particularly hate is when blog postings about programming end up behind paywalls. Sure well done if you find a way to earn a living, but I suspect that for most people it probably doesn't amount to much.

Anyway, now I have another domain I'd love to filter out of Google searches besides Pinterest.
