"scroll down to read some text" on there, so you know you can scroll.

I saw the picture and text at first, but also the scrollbar that indicated there was more content, so I knew I should scroll down.

The problem is, Mac OS (I don't know about others) don't have a static scrollbar anymore. There's no way of knowing. The people that make medium.com surely must know that in Mac OS there will be no indication that there's any content to read, and that if they fill the screen with a large image without showing any content, they should at least say "there's some content below".

(Granted you can enable it in the System Preferences, but that's not standard)
