Noting up front that I'm trusting you rather than subjecting myself to that crap firsthand.
I think it's like you say; what matters isn't that it makes a compelling argument, what matters is that it makes an argument and it's on a site like Medium where it can look more credible than the same argument would look if copied directly into a Reddit comment. Just the implication that someone else in a relative position of authority believes that you're right and the people criticizing you are wrong is enough to alleviate the cognitive dissonance.
