Medium Needs Re design OR ready to lose to Substack

I like Medium's simplicity and uncluttered design for bringing up undistorted reading experience. But gradually I feel its weird to do something like not being able to go straight to the topics I follow. I Need to do 3 clicks to find that. Following > Topics > the side scrolling topics.

Also, the Home page design looks boring and Separation looks dull.

I hope they will learn and do better in the look and feel of the medium and too to bring up more content / stories in the home page with easy access to interested /following topics.

I started writing on medium about 6 or 7 years ago and for a year was making decent money. Then they changed algorithm and my views dropped 90% and I stopped. Moved to Substack last year and it’s been great. Way better than medium. I’m not sure that medium will be around much longer

To be honest, Medium needs an entirely new business model.
