I saw a comment on another post that captures the 'nature' of Medium quite nicely.

Medium, somewhere between half-baked and well-done.

Considering the sheer number of 'self-promotion disguised as content' and 'Dear whatever subject I feel like complaining about today', or 'Dear Dear response to complainer' posts, I wouldn't consider it a good Medium (pun intended) for any content that matters.

Unless, of course your business is shameless, thinly veiled native advertising.
