Comment on AI Slop Is Flooding Medium.

  As someone who writes on Medium ocassionally — no.

  Medium like all other blogging platforms has a problem of incentive. The pay is too little for quality writing and there’s always a gamble on whether your article gets views as you don’t control SEO or even formatting for that matter.

  It was always filled with low effor slop because most are either:

  • practicing writing
  • building out their brand which is basically newbies
  • trying to make pennies through low effor churn

  I feel for Medium here as it does have an unsolvable problem really and AI has nothing to do with it.
