CQ Roll Call and The Hill have a lot to lose if Medium gets traction in this way. It's a smart strategy on Medium's part.
One thing I noticed recently when using Medium, though, is they really kneecapped formatting options. It makes no sense that they offer such a small subset of basic formatting options. Text on photos, H3s, and centering? Those were advantages for Medium. Now they've thrown them out. You might as well use Facebook now.
- ehnto 11y agoThe goal is essentially for all Medium articles to look completely homogeneous. With some personal experience developing a platform with users creating customised content, I really wish I had that luxury. My life would be much easier if the customisation was as limited. But I agree, they have cut the options perhaps too much.

The interesting side-effect of that is everyone shifts their branding/self-promotion in a very intrusive manner at the end of the post. It annoys me enough that I don't read Medium articles casually.
