This is an outstanding idea and I’m doing it right now. I think Medium pushes these publications to attract more outside attention and paying members, but again as I said in our Facebook group I never see stories in my feed from you all. The “You Might Like” section at the top of my feed is in no way what I would like. It’s all mainstream publications and Trump articles, yuck.

I hope more Medium members do the same. If enough of us do it, we could send the message that we're here for the user-generated content, not the "premium" publications that get first-class treatment without ever engaging in the conversation that makes Medium such a great place for reading and writing online.

I blocked The New York Times.
