This site tends to point out articles hosted by Medium fairly explicitly. The reason is simple: Medium is paywalled, and they don’t make it easy to determine as a paying customer whether an article is paywalled or not. They promote paywalled articles fairly heavily (again, this is their profit model), so there’s a tendency for this site to see paywalled articles more often than not.

Since readers of this site might not be Medium customers, then, the fact that it’s a Medium publication gets pointed out explicitly (well, often it gets pointed out), so readers can judge whether they want to open the link or not.

There is no affiliation between this site and Medium.
