Why do major sites still use Medium as a blog platform.

  Free income?

  Ugh yes. The first thing I see on clicking the link is an overwhelming login/join pop-over. I’m never visiting that blog again…

    Don’t let having to tap “x” a single time ruin your day. You’re missing out on a lot of good stuff.

    Wild that it's 2024 and you still don't have UBlock Origin.

      Maybe they opened the link on Safari on iOS like me?

    Disabling JavaScript helps with that (sometimes they don't show the full article if JS is disabled though).

  It's tough to prioritize migrating to a new platform for the engineering blog, without a very good ROI. Airbnb's eng blog was set up on Medium a while ago, it's doing fine, they have no real reason to spend a lot of resources on switching.
