Yeah, I have a love-hate relationship with Medium.
The fact that every comment is another "article" is bizarre. Also, comments have become increasingly hidden behind suggested articles and require a click to load.
But I like that you can highlight a word or sentence and comment on that. The clapping thing is kind of interesting because you can give more "internet points" to better articles.
The one thing that Medium is great at is getting an article into the eyes of the people who want to read it, which is something that my personal blog will not do.
Also, there is something nice about consistent look n' feel with the same font when reading blog posts, so someone who is used to medium might be more likely to click on a medium.com link than a ceriously.com link.
