Medium Applies Gold Star To Profiles
Did you notice it too? Here’s what it might mean.
Medium has applied gold stars to people's profile pictures. Rumour has it that it’s just a sign that you are a paid member but there doesn’t seem to be an official announcement on it.
So if like me you logged on and thought wow! What’s this? Did I get curated, am I suddenly a top writer, or have I been chosen for something special? I’m afraid that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Personally, I do love a gold star though. Remember getting all those gold stars in school? And how proud your parents were? Much better than some sort of official tick in my mind!
Were you a gold star junkie in school, did you crave praise and appreciation? What’s the coolest thing you received a gold star for? Let’s reminisce in the comments.
And if you don’t have a gold star, and the rumors turn out to be true, you can always sign up to be a paid member through my link and get a star all of your own!
