If you prefer reader mode, like I do, any Medium-based platform is a PITA cause all images are blurred. Anyone who is on a crappy connection will have them same. What a fuxxing shame! Can we stop using this crappy platform please?

They also don't use semantic elements at all, just a bunch of divs and spans everywhere.
Let’s, but really do you care about the images or are you there for the article content :) reader mode is nice to skip the silly “pardon the intrusion” or “sign up to our newsletter spam” modals, and i don’t think I’ve ever missed any photos or images when reading stuff like that. These days I tend to just avoid content on medium.
It depends. There are plenty of articles where images are material to the discussion.
I implemented this extension just to stop myself from clicking on Medium links https://github.com/fnune/nay
