Medium wants me to pay them to read a story from "Homeless Romantic" who is listed as a "Ph.D. Rocket Surgeon & Aspiring Troglodyte"?
Are they fucking high?
It's been a wonder that site ever got traction as something credible to get info from and not just a weird mesh of editorial, blogging, and long winded shitposts...
edit: That being said, fuck reddit.
I've always seen it as a site for random people to shitpost. Who takes Medium seriously as a credible source?
