Thinking of Writing for Medium? Six Days After Filing a Request With Support I Have Yet to Receive Help
Articles Aren’t Accessible By Smartphone; Editing Functions Don’t Work
If you think that Medium is a viable platform, you are mistaken. Despite all the clickbait articles about how this Medium writer made a fantastic sum of money (whose metier is writing articles about the fantastic sums of money they made on Medium and , or other sites), I have never made enough money to cover the $5.00 monthly subscription price — which I cancelled, as the platform becomes dysfunctional.
Much worse than the practical non-existent pay is that I have been told by potential readers that they cannot access my Medium articles from their smartphones. I thought it was only me, as — at time — I cannot access my articles from my IPhone, either.
That may be one reason my readership is low.
The final blow for me — which led me to cancel my membership — was that the editing function for already published articles ceasing to work, as did most of the tools to navigate the site.
I filed a request with the Help desk six days ago — SIX DAYS AGO — and have yet to hear back from them, other than a perfunctory email from “yourfriends@medium.com, telling me they have received my request.
Perhaps by writing this, I’ll get some feedback from Medium.com.
I’ll keep you informed.
