Disclaimer: I've never published on Medium, I only follow a few blogs so my experience is limited, and most importantly, I may be an idiot. With that being said, I find Medium to be very frustrating to read. For one, the page layouts seem really inefficient to me. I'm not sure how much of this is due to the specific blogs I follow but many posts tend to have enormous screen wide images interspersed between rather thin columns of text. I don't think there is any other website I read that requires so much scrolling to read so few words. Even more annoying than the above is the completely broken commenting system. Again, perhaps this is due to the blogs I follow and not indicative of the greater platform but Medium's comments system actually make me nostalgic for Disqus, which I never thought I'd say. As an example, after I scroll through an article to get to the comments, I'm usually only shown 3 comments before I have to press to show more, it usually takes a while to load the additional comments. Then, if someone responds to a comment, I need to press a button to show said response. Rather than expand the comment to show the response, I am taken to a new page, except instead of showing the response it actually just shows the original comment. I then have to scroll to the bottom to view the response. Then once I'm done reading the response, I click the back button on my browser to get to my previous place in the comments, only Medium doesn't remember this and I'm back at the very top of the article once again having to scroll through a large thin column of text and expand the comments section. At this point I usually forgo looking at any further responses. Again, admittedly I don't use Medium that much so I might just be unfamiliar with better ways of using the website. Am I doing something wrong or do others find it just as frustrating?
