Well there's definitely a stigma, though for the most part it's more towards the content on Medium than the site and its structure. The average Medium article is often a poorly disguised marketing pitch, a waffling political piece that goes nowhere, or some other paper thin 'thought leader' type stuff. It's become the place where people looking for a quick buck off their writing post online, and there's a certain amount of scepticism towards stuff posted there for that reason alone. But will it affect your articles? Eh, probably not. Some people will refuse to click, but so long as the topic sounds interesting and you actually deliver on an interesting read for those that view it, you'll probably get past the initial stigma there.
