Ratings and reviews

That's how I spend my time waiting on lines. The price is salty though, for people living in poor countries, 5$ is way too much. Please set specific prices for countries in South America, like Brazil. I will keep paying but please reconsider it. Also, it would be nice to add suggestions in more than one language. For example, I can speak 3 languages fluently and I would like to receive recommendations written in all of them.

When you think about app monatization and apps itself you will realized that the world is going into a not sane and health way. The app only offers me restricted articles. And tell me that I have read a lot! And propose to pay for allowing me reading!?!?!? And that has a soft connection between author and app in the sense that the app doesn't give a considerable support for writer to create a proftiable paper. How such things works out in a massive way? Statistics explaina this.

I already pay for a subscription for Medium. Almost every time I open the app to read a member only article, I keep getting asked to upgrade to a higher level. This is a ridiculous and non-sensical thing to do, but I guess Medium does not care about how annoying this is for already paid customers. Other than that, I enjoy reading the articles that I am interested in.
