Facts: Hacker News gets a ton of articles posted from Medium, but very few of them get to the front page. Last time I measured there had been 4,108 posts from medium.com in 2017 (largest source of news for HN), but less than 3% of them got some upvote traction.
So you seem to be sharing a similar sentiment towards Medium than the rest of the HN readers.
(Even posting tweets to HN gets them double the attention than a random Medium post)

- user5994461 10y agoCan you compare to the stats for wordpress?
- brianwawok 10y agoCan't get that out of the URLs, would need to actually crawl the stories.
- user5994461 10y agoThey can both be redirecting to a custom domain. Actually, I think that if you accounted only for the blog on medium.com you are ignoring all the medium blogs on custom domains, which probably have better content than the average.
- lathiat 10y agoi've noticed people seem to use medium but hosted on their own domain? i suspect probably quite a few more front pages if you include that.
