Great article! I can't agree more about being sick to death of "success" stories on medium. They clog up my feed too...and how these people accrue thousands of followers is beyond me. Their content is so transparent, hollow and blatantly ignorant of the economic plight that billions around the globe are suffering, through no fault of their own.
Our economic paradigm was designed with the intention of maintaining a massive underclass; the very system depends upon that. But these morons legitimize a rigged game and, as always, shift the blame onto the individual for not "hustling enough." It's grotesque.
Medium clearly boosts these writers (I use that term very charitably) above everyone else for some reason, it's really bizarre!
