I don’t have a problem with short when it’s meaningful and offers value. But I hate seeing Medium become another Facebook or Twitter. People who like that format should go there and “post” there. There is a reason why Medium doesn’t choose them for further distribution. This is a publishing platform, not another social media nonsense. If writers would write short but thoughtful stuff I would applaud the heck out of them, but 90% of stuff is about Medium and articles referencing other articles just as empty. And what I find absolutely mind-boggling is the fact that people find them mind-blowing and insightful. Really? Is the average reader of such low intelligence and gullible that they find anything interesting?!?
