Personally, I was excited by Medium all those years ago. Now I think twice before clicking a medium.com link. I really hate the obnoxious UI and usually close the tab before reading the article. Anyone else feel this way?

Not to mention that they don't advertise RSS feeds so you have to jump through hoops to use it for a feed reader.

I feel similarly about Medium: waning enthusiasm. I only recently got engaged in HackerNews. The UI isn't beautiful. There are minimal features. It's my favorite content aggregator right now. Obviously, HN isn't a blogging platform, but it accomplishes many of the things medium is trying to. I wonder if many more partners will give up on medium?

And that's before you even get into the content, which is usually either:

I disagree. HN's UI is perfect.
Did you know they don't even have a search API? It's like they're afraid of letting the content you wrote go outside their walled garden.
