I don't know how Medium's lazy load is implemented, but I hate it. Most times, the images remain permanently stuck loading. Seen this on a few other sites too. IMO, it's unnecessary.

I'm on a slow-ish connection, but I prefer just having the images load at once, so I know I can use the entire page. Lazy loading to me seems like one of those cool optimisations with debatable impact in the real world.
