I don't mind people criticizing the design or layout of content meant to be read, but... come on. You "cannot make yourself endure reading" it? Because the text is slightly too light and contrast slightly too low as a result? It's "unsettling and stressful" that there are code snippets and text interspersed? Sure, it's annoying that there's an ever-present overlay at the bottom. And the contrast could be better. But I'm hoping your comment is over-the-top hyperbole, because an insurmountable refusal to read content because the text is two shades too light is just silly. Even if it is hyperbole, do we really need someone to make this style of comment every single time a content author strays away from absolutely optimal legibility?

To be fair to the OP it's much worse on a smaller (12" retina Macbook) screen. That's with maximised Firefox with the dock visible. However this is an issue with Medium, not the blogger. https://imgur.com/a/qGYc3 https://imgur.com/a/qGYc3

I actually did stop reading it because it is an unpleasent experience. It is not refusal, it is simply skipping piece #15423 in every day's continuous stream of media. Look at my screenshot. There is so much distractive disorder and tightening in layout with focus on medium's stupid aggressive buttons that the content suffers.
