I don't get the hating on Medium. They respect "Do Not Track" browser settings for example. Any suggestions of alternative places where millions regularly go to read articles? Eugen has to reach outside our FOSS bubble sometimes to communicate w/ newbies. We shouldn't hate on him for it.

They absolutely do not support Do Not Track. They take note of it, and tell you that they comply, but the detailed info that you get by clicking through that notice indicates that they absolutely do still track you.
@david_ross @paulfree14
Medium is also a closed silo that profits from other people's work. And their comment system is notably horrible.
I can understand posting to your own blog and syndicating to Medium as a concession to the hellscape we live in.
@gcupc @david_ross @paulfree14 soon MS will buy #medium and everybody will jump the ship

I do not claim that they are lying in that document. My claim is that that document gives them sufficient wiggle room to render the claim of complying with DNT a meaningless bit of PR.
Ok here's a challenge:
If anyone can prove they are lying in this document.. I'm all ears https://medium.com/policy/how-we-handle-do-not-track-requests-on-medium-f2b4b4fb7c5e
