I think having Ev's name in the link is a bit much.

Your subtitle:

How to make Medium the world’s greatest “collaborative idea-generation and distribution” platform

is more accurate to the piece.

You have some decent criticism of the platform and provide some great ideas.

Thanks for the feedback, Steve. I agree, that was a bit trashy of me. I am somewhat new to posting on HN and I am trying to figure out what draws attention and discussion.
