> "Stats are too coarse - There are one or two lovely graphs but it just doesn't give me the depth of knowledge I'd like to know about my audience - even Google Analytics only just makes the bar."
To me at least Medium is meant to appeal to the kind of bloggers who want to post something but don't want to maintain a blog. If you want detailed analytics and even Google Analytics are just good enough you don't sound like the sort of person Medium is for.
As for monetizing I could see Medium offering paid plans. Maybe using them to offer the kind of detailed analytics you want. Or maybe they will charge for mobile apps the way the NYTimes does with it's subscriptions. Judging by their focus on nicely laid out content I really doubt they would plaster it with ads.
