  1. 1/5To Medium and the 4th Estate

    To the 4th Estate: The hypocrisy of it all, the lies and the jurisdictions, the falsity of symbolism that disguised itself as language; the 1st amendment protection of “free speech” as the Censors assign my children death because of the hearsay and blasphemy of neighbors against me, a woman they don’t even know. The slander and double laws on the “cooked” books, the Culinary Institute of America and the Central Intelligence Agency, the jokes the system and its usurpers like to play on the unsuspecting, well the jokes on you now. You can’t even call a cop, you can’t find your phone, your computer is locked down, your houses redistricted, your eyes unfocused, your pockets empty, your cupboards filled full of the souls of the malnourished. So you’re welcome “America” North and South, you are now free, to never again understand anything. It was a chance, we thought we were something different than we were and so did you. You will learn one day, that the biggest price you’ll ever pay is for not screaming your truth, not fighting for your life and for taking for granted the simplest and gentlest word, of grace of beauty. And instead damning it. So we gave you all names, places, and identities. It gave you a place in this world, something we hoped you could hold on to. As you move back into unconsciousness, please remember, we are still watching out for you. If there ever comes a day when we can speak directly to you, a day that you will understand what it is we are saying instead of just archetyping or symbolizing then we will lay a new path for you, a new chance to once again have the chance at life. The 5th Estate

  3. 3/5Voice reader excessive battery drain

    One of my reasons for subscribing was the voice interface, however this feature must consume an excessive amount of cpu and causes the battery to drain quickly. It also cannot be sent to the background or will stop. In fact, the cpu is so severe that my Apple magnet charger with a 20 watt adapter cannot sustain a charge with this feature in use. The battery continues draining, albeit at a slower rate. The caveat here is that I was using the reader with a lengthy article that was estimated to take 100 mins to read, but isn’t this a perfect use of the voice reader? Idk if this can be rectified but I won’t be resubscribing if there isn’t some improvement. The conditions for use completely overwhelm my iPhone 15 pro max with all other apps swiped closed. Also, why isn’t there a reading history that allows me to return to incomplete articles? If I leave the app it inevitably resets and my reading place is lost. Lastly, and less importantly, are writers not compensated? I read an author who writes long-form technical insight and she says she gets no compensation from Medium. That seems illogical unless this is a database of struggling writers wanting exposure to make it big elsewhere.

  4. 4/5The app asked for a review so here it is:

    First off I love what Medium is doing here. From a consumer of interesting writing, this is exactly what I want; no ads and very often articles that are interesting to me. The articles surfaced are improving as I use the service which is a good sign that what these people are doing with my usage is working. The app on the other hand has some nagging issues for those who use an iPad in landscape or simply prefer landscape mode regardless of device. This app is clearly designed to be used in portrait mode... yes it works in landscape but the layout doesn't really fit the screen most of the time, and has huge white margins on both sides. It's as if the designers decided rather than reflow the text, we'll just keep the same text width and add huge margins on the sides. Large pictures that are embedded within articles tend to be cut off when in landscape, but are sized nicely to fit within the screen in portrait. Even worse, as of the last update the app shows a blank white screen when switching from portrait to landscape. I know that this may come off as a bit of a quibble, and it is, but a large iPad Pro just isn't very comfortable in portrait, and anything with videos really should be in landscape anyway. Besides, the app did pester me for a review, so here you go... All in all, a great service and an app that is more than usable, just not 5 starts great... yet.

  5. 5/5I love to read thanks to medium

    I enjoy medium so much. I appreciate the arts deeply. As a youth I never liked to read. Thanks to the platform provided by medium. That has changed. It’s true I was reading for the wrong reasons at first. It was strictly looking for her good bye and to catch her communication with her new man. Then the concept of regular people writing articles started growing on me. Because my passion for independent underground hip hop. Is rooted in the same idealism. Regular people making art for the love it. No big record deals no promise of getting rich. Pure passion and maybe one day growing a fan base that allows these type of artist to quit their day jobs. Honestly I still look for a story,she being this women I fell in love with. may write directly to me giving me closure. Maybe a letter directly to me helping me gain control of my mental issues. From the hacker or whom ever saying, Questor this is some kind of intervention your not crazy. But the fact is even how ugly my reasons. Maybe paranoia maybe a kid that hated to read is reading. I don’t try to store the stuff I read fully just little bits. Cuz other things in my mind need to stay in the foreground. But I read and for that I thank you. I may not ever get who ever to stop hiding behind the keyboard. I may one day get serious and use this as the platform for my life story. Cuz the collectives little game won’t stop. So I can’t focus on my dreams or goals. Better yet I just don’t focus on them. Even when I read hints that say that’s what people want. Mean Need to reclaim my self through arts. Everything is on hold as far as those things go. Till people grow balls to easy my mind. I will keep reading and stay a fan
