Ratings and reviews

It never loads. I have a monthly subscription and get email notifications but when I view the suggestions, or go to the app home itself to read, I just see a blank loading page. It wasn't like this before, but I noticed this bug maybe middle of 2021. Disappointing knowing that I get charged monthly but not able to read anything. I tried to delete the app it won't even go to my profile or settings.

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.

My experience was satisfactory until a few months ago -despite the increasing AI-generated content, but since then, I've been getting notifications about irrelevant articles on 'how to win my ex'. In an attempt to help the dev team with the diagnosis I wrote feedback with a fairly detailed description of the problem, what I got in response (within exactly 10 minutes, likely from an automated bot) was useless. Sadly I am cancelling my subscription and removing the app from my mobile device.
