Doug Vidlas , I think you hit the nail on the head. Everyone on Medium seems to just be moving too quickly. Everything is quantity oriented rather than quality oriented. For writers it is not how great an article can you write but rather how many articles can you get published in a day. For readers, it’s not how in-depth and well-written an article is but rather how many articles can you get read in the shortest amount of time. That’s why stories less than two minutes long get far, far more claps than anything that is over a 3-minute read. And that is also why writers endeavor to keep their stories as short as possible. Medium is quickly morphing into Twitter.

Everyone needs to slow the heck down.
