Haha you now know how they maintain their SEO -- by purging the politically incorrect stuff. BTW only druggies say "research chemicals", academic researchers just use "drugs"/"compounds" or maybe "fine organics" or the actual name of whatever it is. "Research chemicals" is basically "SWIM" in terms of being a "druggie heuristic"
What is SWIM?
Pre social media, how did people discover great content? You can go as far back to the 90s or very early 00s as a time reference

I was writing on Medium because it ranks well in Google. I wrote nearly a dozen really great articles on primarily health and dietary supplement topics. After 2 months they started to rank well and were getting daily readers, as the content was really great. Then I wrote an article on a 'research chemical' and they banned my account overnight. I lost the final edited versions of all content. They did not send me a zi…

Curious, how do you know this as a fact?
Also, curious about your nickname - any story behind it?

At least some forums are discouraging that now because it obviously won't hold up in court and provides a false sense of security, but I imagine some people are still attached to it.
It’s halfway through the month and I’m blocked by Medium. It is a bit frustrating. I’m not sure about this comment though: “Learn to market yourself and your content. Quit being lazy waiting for Medium to do it for you.” Maybe I am lazy but there really isn’t an easy and inexpensive way to market your blogs or apps.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what the goal of "marketing" is in this context, however.
The authors complaints are valid, but fails to acknowledge that besides Medium, so many great(and not so great) conversations happen on platforms that are now locked behind login gardens. It was fine back in the day to just create a throwaway FaceTwit account but now they demand mobile numbers too. Pre social media, how did people discover great content?

It’s locked in a somewhat growing, walled garden, yes, but Medium is now basically the Google Reader for a lot of people. Those people don’t care about logins if they can get a good read every now and then. And, when Medium goes to crap, some other platform will pop up with no ads (for a while :) ) and lure us all over there.

Medium has a built-in audience so the number of people who will see a particular post and share it on Reddit, HackerNews, etc., is higher than if you just host it on Wordpress and do all the marketing yourself.
Have you ever met someone who navigaed to medium.com to fin articles, or is this a matter of faith?
