Same. Quality issues aside, the experience of trying to read content on mediums miserable.

Their insistence on taking up an outsized proportion of screen real estate for a header and footer promoting medium.com is beyond obnoxious.

A platform for consuming content should not distract the reader from concentrating that content.

Also if I like a blog I'll bookmark it and check back. I do not need to sign up to "never miss a story from _____."
