Your "Medium Gods" are the human equivalents of fast-food restaurants. They sell the same burger, chicken or taco every single day - the way you like it. Is that bad? Is that wrong? Should we be alarmed?
Let's face it, fast-food restaurants are very profitable. They are almost always the last place standing as other restaurants fold and become Weed Dispensaries.
If you want a burger or a Taco Supreme, you know exactly where to go.
It's hard to write about the subject of Medium Gods and their prevalence without smelling the sickly sweet odor of envy all around one. We're human. We'd like success to come visiting. For our bank account to swell - modestly - for a few months a year. To feel like our words and ideas are being heard.
Reading the 1015th article on how to make money on Medium, is very much like eating the 1015th Big Mac. Tastes and smells the same. Same immediate satisfaction followed by a short bout of agita.
People want what they want- but is giving it to them day in and day out a good thing? Look at Twitter feeds. News channels, YouTube videos. My mind is melting.
But with the right amount of salt and sugar and wholesome grease - damn those French fries taste good.
