It seems like they're making it more about the site than the content. There have been a lot of absolutely vapid medium posts that have ridden to the front-page of HN, as Medium currently exists in the "it is somehow illuminating and academic" halo period.

The most annoying thing about Medium is that you can't discern who an article is written by from the URL. They may as well be pastebin links.
I think that's probably by design. They appear to be trying to make it more about the actual content then the author.
