I dislike the way comments are handled on Medium. Why can't they just appear at the bottom like every other site out there? Also, it's tedious to have to open up every little mini comment thread. I just want to use my wheel mouse to scroll through the comments. Some good articles come from Medium every now and then, and they would benefit from some discussion around them. But I feel like the way the comments are handled stops people from commenting. People just aren't used to it because no other major sites use comments like that, and there's been very little effort on Medium's part to let new people know that comments on the site work like that. And I don't think Medium is big enough to change people's behavior on this. When I come across an article on a website, after reading it, I'll dig around the bottom to read the comments. When I open a link on HN or Reddit, I also open the comment thread for that article link so I can read comments from people on HN/Reddit about that link. Depending on the site I'm on I can expect varying levels of useless comments, but almost all the time you can find a decent comment or two that provides an informed opinion on the piece you just read.
