Medium Took Away My Sparkle
Why are we going backwards these days?
By Grace K. Bianco
Taking away something so small feels like a step backwards.
A lot of us writers have had our moments of griping about something regarding Medium. I have written my own articles on various things that I dislike about Medium, and I have read and agreed with many other articles on the same or different issues.
I am glad to not be the CEO of Medium. Hearing writers complain would be so hard and annoying. I mean we are writers… So, we tend to have a lot to say. I am glad that I don’t have to deal with us.

Medium took away our tiny privilege of personalizing our pages. Our “sparkle” was taken away.
