Blogging platform Medium would like organizations to not scrape its articles without permission to train up AI models, and warned this policy may be difficult to enforce.
Offering the Medium Partner Program, they’ve provided writers with an opportunity to earn money for their compelling narratives. Now, Medium is set to elevate its approach by focusing on distributing and rewarding stories that deeply resonate with its dedicated members.
Popular publishing platform Medium is now fully embracing the Twitter alternative Mastodon by opening up its new me.dm instance to paying Medium community members. Joining the Mastodon server requires a subscription to Medium for $5 per month (or $50 per year) which enables perks on the site like ad-free browsing and offline reading. Mastodon instances are generally free to join.
Online publishing platform Medium published a blog post on Thursday, January 26th, where it detailed the approach it is taking against AI-generated content.
"For me, fundamentally, the mistake was thinking that journalism was where Medium was going to shine."
