I totally agree with how he thinks, but as for the execution... I think Medium is the epitome of people creating provocative content just for the sake of attention seeking.<p>It&#x27;s almost like the whole site is the mix of self-promoters and activist wannabes.<p>I don&#x27;t think a business model change will fix that.
