"more views" is relative, too -- the Baremetrics blog had been around quite a while and already was pulling in good traffic, so I could see why their new Medium blog wasn't quickly matching their old traffic. FWIW I've seen similar with my own blog. Posts that get 500 views/day on my site have a total Medium view count of under 2k, ever. I also sorta suspect that Medium doesn't promote the "Imported" articles as much as Medium-native ones (Imported articles set Canonical URL to your original blog post so you get the SEO juice).
