It has weird stuff because Medium clearly hired "editors" who are all politically extreme and/or culturally homogenous.
My medium.com home page has some technical articles that interest me, an article by some Obama press flunky, and then "We should be meaner to racists", apparently because the editors recommended it.
Did I ask for a mediocre but otherwise acceptable list of technical articles to be gunked up by college student identity politics? No? Then why do the remaining 100 medium.com staffers think this is a good idea? Is that what they're getting paid to do? Why can they not be replaced entirely by an algorithm?
