Funny, after reading the first half dozen or so Medium articles I felt exactly the opposite. It was junk and now I expect junk from Medium and was a bit surprised to read a good article a couple of weeks ago. Since then it's been junk again and unless I'm really really bored or the subject matter is fascinating seeing "Medium" in a HN post means I skip the article altogether.

Ditto. Medium to me always seems like people trying to add credibility to their livejournal posts.
