In fairness if everyone starts writing articles about Medium and other Medium writers, we'll end up with a platform that no normal subscriber wants to pay for. Is that what we want? I don't think so. Imagine paying for YouTube Premium and seeing mostly videos about YouTube and other YouTubers. Would anyone like that experience? I think not. There are tools to report users, stories, keep the feed clean, etc, so why not just use those instead of writing stories and putting them behind the paywall - which incidentally also takes money away from real stories?
