Same. They managed to fake me out for quite a while.

Then again, I only interacted with the site by following links on sites like this, reading the linked item, then closing the tab. My entire impression came from the quality of those posts (took time to see bad ones make it to the front page of HN, for example) and the post page design. If I'd ever clicked around the site or visited the homepage I might have figured it out faster.

These days I expect a level of quality slightly better than Tumblr when I see the medium.com domain name in a link, and am occasionally pleasantly surprised. The image/marketing only went so far.
