You probably mean "Medium TITLES Maker"?
Absolutely brilliant.
As funny as it is, this type of titles are not only seen on Medium.
Yeah, add a "<number> <nouns> that <verb>" and you've got yourself an allround blog title generator.
This sums Medium pretty much up.
Very funny!! Wait, what?
This makes me think how much I would like a HN without opinion pieces.
Was that an opinion you just had right there?
This is hilarious. It needs a "Why <hugely popular thing> is dead" and a "Why I quit my job to ... "
Legen... wait for it... dary!
I was expecting a Markov chain manipulating a huge array of aggregated Medium titles but as simple as the cotton candy titles of Medium are so is this script.
"How Making Tacos Enhanced the Toilet Paper I Used."

This is going to be one disgusting post.

That's a pretty broad definition of "enhanced".
This is a great start, but it needs some more patterns. "How/why <noun> <verb> <noun>" may well be the most popular Medium title construction, but I would suggest looking for a few more. Here's a few to start:

"<verb> <noun> and why it matters"

"The day I <verb> <noun>"

"The <adjective> story of my <noun>"

Definitely, there's tons of room for improvement.
