C4nn4r So far this place is looking pretty good, however, I am sceptical as to whether or not it will catch on with today's crowd as many people seem to have very little to no concentration, and seem incapable of reading more than 200 characters of text. I love the text-only look this place has going for it as well, it's incredibly refreshing, and unique.

Bas Poppink I agree on the refreshing bit. But sites like Medium are an indication that there's more than a little interest in long form copy that's actually interesting, as opposed to your run-of-the-mill clickbait list. Also I appreciate the fact that Sublevel's structure seems to trigger replies. Communication between people instead of random postings.

Eric The content on Medium is mostly uninteresting drivel which is written as if its a life changing thing to read. The look & feel of the articles might seem high quality but the actual flesh is rarely anything special.

Bas Poppink Well, it's user generated content. So as with every service offering USG, the more successful it gets, the more difficult it becomes to find the gems (like YouTube, Flickr, etc). But the fact it is succeful in the first place is an indication people like to read.

Belle Or that people like to write but don't want the pressure of maintaining their own blog.

Bas Poppink Possibly. The interface is arguably one of the finest around, so why bother?
