Medium’s E-mail Record Not Working? And different Medium bugs. | by Teri Radichel | Bugs That Chew | Jan, 2023 | Tech Aza

I am making an attempt to submit a narrative and ship it to subscribers, however Medium’s e-mail record characteristic would not appear to work.

I’ve enabled the e-mail record characteristic and you may subscribe right here. I posted just a few posts not too long ago and did not see the associated e-mail so I attempted some extra. I subscribed to my very own feed with some alternate emails simply to see if the e-mail characteristic was working as a result of I wasn’t receiving or viewing the e-mail.

I printed a few new posts and selected the choice to ship to subscribers, however I did not obtain the emails.

I additionally had just a few mates attempt to subscribe to see if they’d obtain the emails, no. Unfortunate.

I have been having a lot of points with Medium these days and I hope you possibly can repair them quickly or validate that they don’t seem to be points, in case you assume that is the case:

• The paywall is simply too simple to bypass. In case you assume you are creating wealth off of it, you are not. The Medium bug bounty particularly excludes this. How are individuals purported to earn money in your platform?
• There is no such thing as a technique to disable RSS. Persons are blatantly copying my content material utilizing RSS feeds.
• Generally after I submit it says another person is posting my submit and I can not submit it.
• I have to do an extra integrity verify to see {that a} third occasion would not change my posts after posting as some bizarre issues occurred to me, however there’s an opportunity it is simply me. You’d need to do extra testing with file integrity checking to show it.
• Different individuals primarily combine up the phrases in my posts and repost them on Medium. It may very well be that these are simply ChatGPT bots, however I am unsure. It is unclear how Medium goes to fight that downside. Difficult certainly.
• The format on Medium adjustments periodically and breaks issues I’ve posted up to now.
• There is no such thing as a technique to do sure issues like tables, that are important to speak sure concepts, with out linking to another Excel-like platform.
• Medium could have some caching points. I attempt to publish and generally my adjustments do not present up till I attempt to drive cache refresh. I hope that attackers cannot change the content material of the tales utilizing the cache. That will contain integrity checks with what’s within the cache and the unique submit, which I hope Medium is doing.
• It doesn’t matter what I submit, I earn $2. My views went as much as over 5000 and I bought far more subscribers, reads and claps and nonetheless made $2.
• Once I tried to register to my linked Stripe account, one thing is improper. Since I solely get $2, I have never paid consideration to it. I am going to need to evaluation that to see that there is not an issue with Stripe or Medium in that regard. I do not bear in mind seeing my funds these days, however I have to double verify. Hopefully, Medium has carried out correct penetration testing on this facet of their platform and Stripe has carried out the half for it as effectively. Integration factors are tough, as who can truly permit pentesting in that case? One thing to contemplate for each firms.
• I had points with blatantly posting my weblog content material to different websites by republishing the RSS feed. The writer claimed that the issue was the way in which the medium RSS feed works, which is inaccurate and damaged. I do not know if that is true. I hope Medium can do extra to assist authors with plagiarism. That makes it value posting on Medium.

On the whole, I just like the simplicity of Medium and use it to convey ideas. It’s undoubtedly not a cash making platform and sadly I’m not positive in regards to the reliability of the platform right now.
