I've been cross-posting my tutorials on Medium since I wrote a post about it and since then, I've been consuming some of the content over there. And I noticed something.
They all live in the perfect world. With all those clickbait content.
Let me give you an example. If you spend 30 minutes on it, you can easily find a post titled "How I started to make 50K a month from blogging" or "How I turned my hobby projects into an app with 100K MAU". Or it's something like a "10 Javascript hacks that no one knows" and goes with things that almost everyone uses.
And when you click on them, they just tell the same thing with all other similar clikbait posts that looks legit. After reading them, it makes you think "I can do that too" and than you realize it won't gonna work out like the clickbait post has told you.
This is the problem with Medium and it's big publishers. I'm not telling you every Medium writer is same. Of course not, I'm also a Medium writer.
But when majority of bloggers does this, it becomes a problem. Because it makes hard to reach out to quality content that's written by small ones.
Because of that, I cancelled my paid Medium membership and stopped reading from there. Because I had enough of those clickbait content over there.
Always remember guys. We aren't living in the perfect world, if you're giving advices to others, always consider that first.
