In my case, it's not hate. There was just an endless stream of trite posts that got linked on HN too much. But if there's real antipathy, it's probably the same mechanism as with Svbtle - except that the more talented bloggers were already on Svbtle, not on Medium. If you make an exclusive platform like that, the perception is that it's made for self-absorbed people by even more self-absorbed people. That's not a good impression to leave behind.
