I accidentally have something similar: since I have ghostery on and it blokes some adobe typekit JS, medium.com articles are all blank except for the top image for me.

Probably not. People are weirdly picky and want their vision of the best possible 30 articles to always be on the front page.

#15Out of curiosity, why do some people want to hide Medium articles?
Because they are idiots. Seriously. Medium articles are not super-prevalent (4 in top 200 right now). And tend to be more thoughtful than much of the content that shows up here.

Its not the articles, its the platform (and its aesthetics). Medium is not meant for things like code samples and shoehorning them in leads to these fullwidth blocks which are hard to read. The fullwidth images and embeds are also somewhat annoying.

Someone requested it on DN because they prefer to visit Medium directly. I made it pretty much because I could. To be honest, I have it installed but keep it off.

At first I thought this is an oversight on their part for not providing a web safe font fallback, but they do. Maybe it's because when ghostery blocks the url, so the browser thinks the font exists and doesn't fall back to the next one somehow.
