On the homepage, that there is a featured article as well as additional information to the right side a.k.a. more stuff to read reminds me a lot of the Mashable craziness. It's very hard to focus on content, reading left to right, when there is unimportant information that I have to constantly filter out as I go line by line. And as someone else had said, the individual blog posts pretty much follow the same layout style as medium. I actually think that this, even more minimalistic design, takes away from the aesthetic that, in my opinion, made Svbtle stand out - namely, the colours and the logos.
