For the Love of God — Just Subscribe Already
I regret not subscribing sooner — even though I’m broke
Surely you’ve found yourself clicking on an article that looks interesting to read, only to be hit with Medium’s paywall of your “three maximum free stories” limit for the month. I did this for years, and now I don’t know why.
I started writing for Medium less than two months back, and there were so many helpful articles about writing in general, and about Medium itself. I’d get frustrated with it, but then I was like, “why don’t I just pay the five bucks?”
I pay for Netflix. I pay for Spotify. I pay for a music sample service, and even one or two other monthly services I can’t REMEMBER right now. How unimportant are those I’ve forgotten, yet here’s something in front of me I can have access to, within my reach, that I keep avoiding?
Something I know I will use even!
I think I need to hop online and check my bank account for whatever miscellanies I’m paying for that I don’t really use — because Medium has too much good stuff on here — I realized it’s worth more to me than some other things I blindly pay for. Starbucks, Peet’s, or Caribou Coffee in the morning? Medium’s subscription costs like one cup of coffee — but for the whole month!
