I'm sorry to post off-topic but... I find this very hard to ignore:

When did Medium gain these huge annoying banners that can't be dismissed at the top and bottom of the page?

> Never miss a story from Conversations with Tyler, when you sign up for Medium. Learn more. Get Updates

I tend to read at larger than 100% font and these banners take up a disproportionate amount of space. At 125% zoom these banners together seem to take up about a third of the total vertical reading space.

If this B.S. has to be there for some reason, why not it put on the side of the page which is otherwise unused whitespace? Sigh. Or why not put it at the end of the article? If people really like Conversations with Tyler, and want to read more, then they've presumably read to the bottom of the page.
