Uhm, you didn’t see the featured “Screenshots” item in the main navigation?

True. However, even if intermittent fasting is no more effective than calorie restriction, from a human behavior perspective, it seems to be an easier way for many people to achieve their calorie goals than just "eating less".

There’s a lot of critical reception in this thread, mostly people complaining about bandwagoning. However, there’s a lot to be said for eliminating the unnecessary “div all the things” mindset of websites today, it makes html much easier to read and eliminates unnecessary typing. As a css framework, this is also agnostic to rendering frameworks.

I wouldn’t consider classless a trend, just another useful methodology we still should be exploring.

Are the examples images supposed to change with the color picker? They seem fixed on red/green, otherwise looks awesome

That's a good point, I think it ties back in as well. Medium does a solid percentage of the work of building an audience for you. They need a way to be compensated for the costs of that as well, hence get more paid users.

This article seems to miss the point of medium entirely. He fails to mention that you can be paid for content you create on medium, and content consumers don't have to sell their eyes to advertisers. Yes, they have to be pushy so they can acquire that critical base of paid users, but I'll take that any day over traditional advertisers.

Now, if you aren't interested in being paid for the content you create, then medium's goals might not be aligned with yours, so another self hosted platform may be better.

Go poll 50 free users on the reading experience of Medium. Obviously this is anecdotal but almost everyone I speak to loves reading on medium. Compared to other ad-infested or high paywall websites, medium provides a incredible reading experience for it's goals as a for profit platform.
