Medium 3.0 - Next step of an exciting new phase and the Partners Program

I would really like Medium to be timing the pace of the clapping so if a piece is REALLY good it knows I am starting a slow clap... 👏 👏 👏

How are the old "medium likes" are converter to the new "medium claps"?

I am so disappointed in the change in their logo. I hope they didn't pay money for it.

Medium is a great way to publish stories, but not at all a monetization platform for content.

Pros:

Great UI and UX for readers

Cons:

Poor UI, UX and monetization for writers

A great medium to reach out larger audiences.

Pros:

A perfect blogging platform

Cons:

None to mention

Publishing platform is beautiful, easy to use, and free. Easily the best such platform out there.

However the content is very weak and the curation is even worse. The form of writing needed to succeed on Medium os very poor writing and can be stressful to read. Platform rewards writing every day rather than substance in an article so baseless content is promoted.

Pros:

Creation Tools

Cons:

Content

It's a great hub full of popular publications and freelance writers sharing their experiences, stories, and skills.

Pros:

Clean UI, great content, wide audience

Cons:

Hardly any

Why not offer custom domain names? Trust your value creators, and they will trust you back... https://medium.com/@jpm/like-the...

Useless now

Pros:

Great contents

Cons:

Bloatware
