Ratings and reviews

I used to really like medium, but for the past few months I've not been able to read a single article. I just get "you've reached your limit" even though I haven't been able to access a single full article since September. I also felt like before that I he also just surfaced a lot very samey content and some work on the discovery algo would be beneficial. This is partly why I don't subscribe, because it's quite samey for me.

There's a lot that I like about Medium, but the app doesn't allow searching in articles, which is an incredibly basic feature, the lack of which makes reading through the app far worse than just using a browser. In general, the members-only thing is a mess. It's much too easy to click on things without realising they're members-only, and then your allowance is gone before you've actually read anything.

I would like to read towards data science articles beause they are really useful for learning. Unfortunately, when trying to sign up using the app (which you are forced to use after reading a few articles) you end up in this circular sign up, click the link in your email and back to the sign up page loop for ever and ever. So in summary: the app is rubbish, the data science articles are great.
