I reread my comment. I wrote it when rushing for lunch. I should read it one more time before pressing: “publish.” I corrected it.

In general, I agree with you. Very little on Medium is worth reading. Unfortunately, in the major media, I see many shallow articles as well. You mentioned The Atlantic; too often, they have professionally written but intellectually shallow articles. I wrote a polemic with one of their articles: https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/is-inequality-unequal-d16b3311f133.

I read Medium as occasionally I find original thoughts or reports.
