For the love of all that is good and wholesome, DO NOT USE MEDIUM.

Here is what Medium looks like to someone who was considering spending their time to read your content:

EDIT: Apparently imgur is thoroughly enshittified as well. I didn't notice, I'm using Firefox with adblocker. Try this url instead:

On a related note, I also hate Imgur. Can be a pain in the arse on mobile, forcing me to use the app, making it hard to view just the image, sometimes looking terrible when not using the app.

Stop using damn Imgur too, it's useless without JavaScript.

For Medium, replace medium.com with scribe.rip at any Medium URL.

The Medium is the mess.

But so are the rest.

Glad you shared that screenshot, it's so representative of the enshittification of the web. The actual article is entirely covered up by a cookie notice ("we log user data") with no Reject button; a massive modal to advertise the paid subscription to Medium; and a popup to connect to Google Account for some reason. I can't even read the article's full title. Absurd.

There's no free lunch, I just run my own blog so there won't be ads and app banners
