Definitely an intentional strategy on Medium's part. Guess they think the increase in revenue will outweigh the decline in the number of new articles and readership. They might be right, but the experience for both publishers and readers is much shittier as a result now.

So .. did Hacker Noon leave or not? https://hackernoon.com https://hackernoon.com still displays a Medium message. I've not watched the video, there doesn't appear to be a transcript.

Hackernoon was also on the sketchier side, injecting ads and huge subscribe/tweet/etc buttons on 3rd party posts. Published once there, never ever gonna use a Medium publication again.
