Medium seems to continue to grow in popularity as a publishing platform, and as it does, I’m growing more and more frustrated by their on-screen “engagement” turds. Every Medium site displays an on-screen “sharing” bar that covers the actual content I want to read.
I agree completely with Gruber on this.
I went to some of the sites that Gruber is complaining about and have no idea what he complaining about.
I did increase my blocks in Ghostery though.
Medium as a platform has serous economic problems. Why hasn’t anyone mentioned this?
Sometimes it helps to have a Philadelphian around to properly name a thing.
You need to see them on a mobile device. Not just narrowing your browser on desktop. Medium, for example, hides its ‘dicker’ as you scroll on a narrow desktop window but doesn’t on an iPhone and adds an annoying Open in App badge that floats over content
Number of times “open in app” pestering has gotten me to install any website’s app: Zero.

I hardly ever visit sites on my iPhone. I have a 27-inch iMac for a reason.
That’s fine but the topic is how Medium articles look on mobile devices so when you say you don’t see the issue he’s describing you’re not seeing it because you’re not on mobile.
