The whole Medium phenom has always sort of escaped me. I'm curious to see what it means to reward people for creating value rather than clickbait. Clickbait is easy to measure and reward. How will they measure "value" I wonder.

I thought you mentioned that you read there regularly.

Lots of stuff on Medium pops up in Pocket or various other aggregators, but I don't make any special effort to go there.
