The proper way to think of Medium is as "Long Form Twitter" - that it's not where you should primarily post your long treatise about XYZ, but that it's a secondary platform for promoting it, interacting with the audience there, etc. OPs article describes the first landing UX - which is definitely bad, but not what a habitual Medium reader sees.
