Its not the articles, its the platform (and its aesthetics). Medium is not meant for things like code samples and shoehorning them in leads to these fullwidth blocks which are hard to read. The fullwidth images and embeds are also somewhat annoying.
Because it's dumb and I don't like dumb things and it's frustrating that people spend their time on dumb things when there are so many non-dumb things that they could do instead. Clutters up HN & the Chrome Store and reinforces dumb thinking.
Someone requested it on DN because they prefer to visit Medium directly. I made it pretty much because I could. To be honest, I have it installed but keep it off.
Because they are idiots. Seriously. Medium articles are not super-prevalent (4 in top 200 right now). And tend to be more thoughtful than much of the content that shows up here.
