Very disappointing! I noticed the change myself this morning. Not only is the change extremely disappointing, but so is Medium's attitude. I'm increasingly distressed by the attitudes of the people who run Medium, as they make major changes like this without apparently caring anything about what we think.

More and more people I know who write for Medium are coming to really dislike the experience. I think the people who run Medium would be well advised to stop being so heavy-handed with radical changes without consulting the community.
