If you think Medium is bad, take a look at the horror that is blogspot. Loads a ton of slow JavaScript, breaks scrolling, breaks the back button, flashes a different article before showing the one you wanted…

I really do not understand how people put up with this, especially companies that should care about their brand.

Luckily, it's no longer 2004, so no one in their right mind would start out blogging there ;)

I personally prefer Jekyll or Gatsby on GH Pages or, even better, Netlify. But if you're less technically inclined, WordPress.com is fine as long as you get a custom domain.

You would think — and yet I stumble upon content there regularly. And my comment was downvoted, so at least some people think this is OK.
