Discovery by the sounds of it. To quote the other comment:

So this auto-posts our articles to its own link aggregator? How is that better than Hacker News, mainstream social media, Lobste.rs, the Fediverse, chatrooms, and webrings? Is the advantage that their aggregator exclusively contains content from their own platform, meaning that publishing in their walled garden is the only way to get that audience?

The aforementioned discovery outlets aren't locked into a single publishing platform. What's the point of making a discovery outlet that, like Medium and Dev.to, only allows blogs published on its own platform?
