Is it just me or is this worse than before? Slower, much less responsive, and harder to read.

Heck, one of their own graphics shows the issue with the responsive cover images. The "Imagining the Post-Antibiotics Future" article's cover image almost completely crops out the woman on the left when viewed on an iPad or iPhone, which is to my eyes the most poignant part of the image.

I absolutely adored the old Medium design. I applaud them for continuing to innovate, but this one is going to have to grow on me.
