Medium has no journalism and no good writing.

This is wrong. https://theringer.com/, for example, is hosted on Medium.

Go back and reread any of Rembert Explains America on Grantland. There's nothing even approaching that on The Ringer.

Sure Grantland had a lot of silly pop culture stuff, but it had good journalism and writing, too.

It's really sad that Bill Simmons seems to truly believe people only want the short, superficial shit that's on The Ringer.

Critique the quality of The Ringer compared to Grantland all you want. I'll agree with you. But The Ringer isn't content marketing.

It's not journalism and it's not good writing.

I didn't call it content marketing, I called it "short, superficial shit".

[harryh → paulcole]

Dilemma called it content marketing. My comment was in response to that original assertion.
