As you know, I've also felt overwhelmed on Medium for some time, and have come close to deleting my account. Generally, I think of a handful of other writers on the platform I couldn't go without, and just... fail to quit. I'm now exercising a more stress-free approach to Medium, but truth is, once I open up that tab, between reading, commenting, and writing, I will probably lose hours of my day, and this means I need to organize my days better as a rule, so the time will always be there.
