Medium’s algorithm has been getting a lot of flack lately — and maybe rightly so. Some say it favors in-house publications. Others claim that it discourages the small writers. And many complain the curation process is biased.

I’m not here to judge. I’m here to offer an alternative.

What is the Medium Medley?

You can think of it as an art collection. It’s a highly subjective assortment of the best pieces of writing I come across every week.

You can also think of it as the democratization of Medium. It’s a place where claps, views, or author names play no role. I don’t care when a piece was written, where it was published, or how many comments it got.

If it made me think deeper, write better, or enjoy life more you will find it in here

Or you can think of it as a weekly newsletter — only shorter, intenser, and better in every possible way.

What content gets selected?

There’s only one rule: the article wasn’t written by me.

Where can I find the first edition?

I’m so glad you asked. All editions of the Medium Medley will be published as part of a series. You can find the first one here:

PS: hat tip to Tom Kuegler for giving me this idea. I’m sure he has more, so check out his YouTube channel.
