Medium's business model is: you just started your own website and don't have enough content there to rank well with search engines/attract visitors? No problem! We got a shitton of content and are well indexed. Just write an article for us (add to the pile!) and we allow you to link back to your own project. Medium pretty much is on my ignore list. The only thing you find there are fluff pieces without substance that are meant to drive traffic elsewhere. And there really is not a lot of substance to telling the world that you can use Markdown to format a book (though I really wonder he didn't use LaTeX).
