I think that they also had issues back then. If your company is still running on Medium you're very limited with customizing your blog. You can't add any CTA button, popup window, widget, or anything that can help you to justify your blog exsistance. If 1000 people get into your blog post, only around 30 will hit your homepage. Compare it to other blogs where you can design it the way you want, because great UX and some traffic from Medium, I don't see the benefit of it.

FWIW, I utterly abhor these when reading blogs. Consider “goodwill” as being an abstract benefit of your blog existing.
