Every Medium article I have read via HN (all of which were found on the frontpage) were edgy, self-absorbed and pretentious ramblings. I guess the platform promotes such behaviour by creating this "cool kid bench" and aiding others toward it with a feeling of elitism because they blog on Medium. I wonder when Yahoo (read: Marissa) will buy them!

I find that a positive aspect of Medium. As soon as I see medium.com on a HN story I know I don't have to waste my time reading it.
