Yes, Medium has terrible reading experience. I found this extension (https://github.com/thebaer/MMRA) a while ago. You should try it.

I keep reading comments like this, but I don’t ever see any particularly glaring issues when reading from my iPad. Is it a desktop / chrome thing that iOS / Safari is automatically mitigated against, or are my standards just so low that I don’t notice the issues?

I repeatedly highlight whereever I'm at to be able to focus on a particular part of the text and keep track of it.

Medium automatically adds a tooltip so I can share whatever I highlighted to Twitter/Facebook.

It's an accessibility issue, where they are privileging hypothetical social sharing of content over readers who actually need to consume the content.

Maybe they don’t do it on mobile but on desktop they have a pop-up demanding you create an account to keep reading.

Even when I open the link in an incognito window, I don't see this pop-up. Do you need to be on the page for X time to see it?

Second request in a certain period, I think. I opened this link twice. The second time I got the pop-up, which starts out with something like "We've seen you here before...". I just tried a third time and it did not create a popup.

As things go, I think they're actually handling that part fairly well.

Pretty sure it looks for an existing cookie to pop it up.

answer my question (in the other thread)...

[freehunter]

Are you really stalking me to get me to respond to a thread I participated in two days ago? That’s odd.

Would have emailed you if you had one in your bio ;)
