The Headlines Of Most Medium Articles Are Moronic Clickbait
If you’re headline has a number in it, there is a slim chance I’m going to read it
Dec 31, 2021
That’s pretty much all I had to say.
I want to read good writing. I’m so turned off by the Buzzfeed mentality of the headlines on this platform. If I wanted to absorb mindless drivel, I’d read People Magazine or watch Fox News. If I wanted to learn how to write, or make money writing, this would not be it.
It’s like a big circle jerk. I really hope we do better.
