The Comment Reply on Medium I Really Don’t Like.

This has happened a few times lately, has it happened to you?

It’s extremely rare for me to be annoyed by anything here on Medium. Generally, this platform is pleasantly free of spam.

In fact, I can count on one hand the number of times I have received a spam-style comment.

The little annoyance I have is when I comment on a story and receive a reply that says, “WhatsApp me” or “DM me on Telegram to continue the conversation.”

Why?

It is a fast way to turn me off completely.

Have you experienced this in the comments here on Medium?

Does it bother you, or do you go ahead and message the storyteller?
