For me as a reader, it used to have a value add that it was a great experience for reading. Clean interface, minimal formatting, columns not too wide.. basically, it just got out of the way and made posts easy to read. Recently, it's lost a fair amount of that value as they push towards installing their app, etc. It's by no means the worst, but I'm no longer happy to see that a post is punished on medium vs $personal_blog.
