                    1. No, that's not a little bit Spotify, Patreon, and Pocket. It's just a paywall. Just because Medium is hip doesn't make this a new chill idea

                    So I'm supposed to pay Medium to curate for me? Than what exactly is the point of Medium? Isn't the social graph supposed to automate this?

                  You know, I didn't think I could be more angry today, but lo and behold: Medium. niemanlab.org/2017/03/media-is-broken-so-mediums-launching-a-5month-member-program-that-offers-small-upgrades/

                So yeah, this is the exact same model as Every Digital Media company only you're going to do it with more people contributing bad content?

              And just to be really clear here, Medium is basically saying: "We have no competitive advantage except that people give us free content"

            Medium isn't close to the first publishing platform to do this. Here's others in the category Medium is entering: Forbes Thought Catalog

          So welcome to the New Medium everyone: it's going to just be Thought Catalog for the Silicon Valley set.

        Actually... hahahahahahhahaha... you know what Medium is going to be most like? MTV's College Publisher. Basically the same model.

      Yes, the lack of Medium-Plus is the only thing that has been holding back writers from the pieces they really wanted to write.

    Also, nice that Medium has come up with the Series of Different Shaped Boxes layout that every single other media org has been doing.

      LOLOLOL. So just like the Yahoo News Digest app. Medium is reinventing the Yahoo News Digest app? Or... you know... the newspaper?

        Sillicon Valley in a nutshell: we've reinvented the three-editions-a-day newspaper, a format we helped destroy, only now it's "satisfying"

          Do you think at any point in the process of planning at Medium someone was like 'hey doesn't this entire model not make money?'

            I bet someone did and then another person said "They said that about Facebook" and that shut the conversation down.

              This whole 'pay for Medium as a newspaper' concept is perhaps, altogether, the least original idea ever to come out of the startupland.

                Today we hit the mark of Medium's momentum as a hot startup exceeding its biz capability. It's in no-man's-land of well funded uselessness.

                  So what about news orgs using Medium to host their sites? Do they get anything from being 'curated', since they're not getting ad dollars?

                    If a professional publication gets curated into Medium's Hot New Home Page, for which Medium receives money, does the pub get a cut?

                      I can't wait to laugh at the dumb schmuck who buys Medium.

                      Hey laurahazardowen - Any idea how this system gets "creators of content paid", if they're not paid by Medium for an individual article?
