I was just thinking to revive HN I want to kill Medium.

To revive something, it has to be dead first.

I’m out of the loop - why is medium suddenly out of favor these days

Too many full and half screen dialogs to get you accept this and that and login here and there.

Oh... that annoying top bar that wants me to install their app? Oh that shit is annoying af lol

People expected it to be completely free and ad-free forever, for some reason.

That's what I was looking for! Thanks :).

nice. someone downvotes me for pointing out a fact.

I'll go further. I'm of the opinion that paywalled articles don't belong here on HN, as it limits the public discourse possible, and as HN should not serve as a funnel for peoples paywalled web sites. Downvote me for stating this opinion, rather than the factually factual fact I got downvoted for stating.
