This screenshot of Medium is on a 1080p monitor at 100% scaling: https://imgur.com/a/gMa8dQT https://imgur.com/a/gMa8dQT Almost half the view space is Medium surrounding the article with whatever intentions they want to push on readers. I publish all of my posts directly on my site (static site with Jekyll) but I used to republish most of them on Medium, but as of a few months ago I pulled all of them off Medium. Medium really doesn't do anything for you unless you use them as their primary platform and YOU drive traffic to the articles, in which case, you might as well just use your own platform.
