Hacker News Reader

I found some good articles by real people about real life things that I don’t think I would ever have read in another publication. I paid and bought a subscription to Medium after that. I like the idea of paying writers for their work and if I ever get around to writing myself I would use Medium for the same reason.

Please don't. Medium is a very annoying platform and pushes away a significant portion of readers just because of the hosting. I only click through to a medium article as a last resort.

That being said, I also believe authors should be paid for their work. I pay for news subscriptions for precisely this reason, and I'm considering using scroll[1], which seems to be a simpler way to subscribe to a large number of information sources without having to have a subscription for each one.

I'm not going to support a product that I find annoying.

Interesting opinion.
