Time To Fucking Smash The Hold of “The Big Writers”on Medium
Too many decent writers are coming up against a rigged system, which entrenches the “big writers and older publications”. The time has come for an overthrow of the existing order, which privileges the few over the many.
This write up isn’t going to earn me any brownie points and guess what? I don’t care at all. It is something that I have been keen on writing for a very long time and I was especially impelled to commit words to print after having read a number of articles, over the last few days.
There are a number of unpopular opinions that I will list and outline over the course of this article, stay with me, if you can.
Unpopular Opinion Number 1: The Famous writers on medium aren’t better than the newer ones.
Having read a vast number of writers on medium, I remain unconvinced that the older writers produce intrinsically superior articles to the newer scribes. This is entirely based on prose style, flow of arguments, knowledge of subject and the vocabulary of the writers, encountered, thus far.
I have read profoundly incoherent and inaccurate articles by writers, who have 100,000 followers and have been utterly spell bound by authors of fewer than 200 followers.
