I agree wholeheartedly with the author. Not a lot of things irk me more than the Medium era of blogging. Aside from the shady practice of Medium itself, I feel like with it came the meme-infused blogs, which I personally dislike a lot. I don't mind diagrams, of course, but I feel like the memes are to pander to the "kids" of today (I'm not that old, but memes weren't until I was 21).

My pet peeve with Medium is how they had zero profile customization options when they started off. No custom themes or design, the focus was (allegedly) on the content, not its presentation.

Last time I checked, they now let you personalize your profile and its design and include a custom username.medium.com URL for your profile. They became the very thing they said they weren't.
