Gives me bad feels.... I don't think you missed anything unless they are working on bugs related to authors...

I'm not sure that helps? Even if it links back to Medium it doesn't give that attribution to the original source in the metadata. And it's still migrating them away from the terms originally agreed to.

Ah yes, I do see that linkback attribution. That is a good thing.

Again, I have to think they tried to do this the right way, but at some point made bad choices. It's shocking they weren't at least more transparent about this ahead of time.
