Back in the day, I used to hang out on some self-improvement message boards talking about fitness, health, philosophy...etc. Then slowly I started seeing people praising Putin, Trump. I was baffled, and started arguing with them. At the end, these boards turned into alt-right cesspools with groupthink. I had to leave.

Then recently, I found Medium, and once again was drawn in by the articles on self-improvement, psychology, philosophy...etc. Yet, more and more what I am getting recommended is all this lunatic woke clickbait. The Medium editors need to realize that the vast majority of people in the world are not radical, but instead moderate. If they want to have a vibrant and successful platform that actually does good in the world, they need to cater to these people, not the crazy radicals.
