Why I Switched from Facebook to Medium and Never Went Back?
How Medium Helped Me Quit Facebook and Find More Meaningful Content
We all know the feeling — opening Facebook just for a few minutes, then suddenly, hours have gone by. That was me.

Medium saved me from wasting time on social media, and I’m a better person for it.
I can’t claim that I’ve completely cut Facebook out of my life. I still use it occasionally to stay in touch with friends and family. But I’ve significantly reduced the amount of time I spend there, and it’s all thanks to Medium.
