Sayonara Medium! We’re Breaking Up
Well Medium, the time has finally come. After 3 and a half years of reading, writing, highlighting, clapping and wrecking my brain trying to figure out just what the fuck was going on at Medium HQ, I’ve decided to take my leave and explore new lands.
It has been fun. There’ve been ups and downs. Successes and failures. Smiles and frowns. But over the past few months shit just ain’t been the same. Something’s different. The spark just ain’t there. The Medium experience I once loved and cherished now feels dead, flat and lifeless —like Britney Spear’s ‘revived’ music career.
Where’s the character gone Medium? And the charm of the good old days? Cus I just can’t seem to find it anymore.
What I can find, however, is an abundance of shit from wanna be ‘influencers’ telling me how much they’ve earned this month, how they manage to gain so many followers and how they’ve mastered the skill of writing mediocre Medium articles — all of which usually contain fuck all evidence to back up their claims and are often just things they’ve read but not yet experienced (all except for the mediocrity of course).
I’m sorry — not sorry — to say the repetitiveness of it all gets pretty old, pretty quickly and does nothing to spark…
