Comment on AI Slop Is Flooding Medium.
drmoose@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoAs 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.
