From my perspective, Medium is little more than a place to host blog articles. I've never discovered other posts on Medium, only through other sources, like HN or Reddit, and I've probably read hundreds of Medium posts over the past few years. In fact, I don't think I've ever visited Medium's home page. I don't really know why this issue—it's certainly not something I've done consciously. Perhaps it's the continual barrage of popups that makes me unconsciously distasteful of Medium, or the fact that it appears to be monotonous. When I arrive at someone's blog on their personal website, I always click around and explore because the whole site is a personal expression, but reading Medium feels like walking through a faceless, generic office building.
