Don't worry, Medium on desktop is equally bad. Two persistent banners bottom and top plus a "pardon the interruption" popup. I really wish companies wouldn't use Medium as their blogging platform.
It's also started pushing entries into my browser history as I scroll past headings, stopping my back button from doing what I expect. Really gets my goat.
