Quick feedback: Once thing I’ve noticed over multiple of your articles is that you tend to use underlines for emphasis. The problem with that is that underlines on the internet tend to indicate hyperlinks, so there’s always a moment of wondering whether you’re trying to link to something. Consider using bold every time when you would normally use underline.
Thank you for your feedback. I used to write Medium articles for publications (e.g. this one). For some publications, the guideline was to use bold at least once every paragraph.
When a friend of mine (LW reader) read one of those articles, he gently commented that he felt he was reading buzzfeed (overly distracting formatting).
That’s why I tried to switch to undeline/italic in my writing (besides, I have a general feeling of simplicity/minimalism here).
Will edit this post with a better formatting soon (cf. Elo’s google doc below)
EDIT: just realized there was only bold and italic in Medium, no underline...
