How come a listing with full details available publically can never make it to top of Ycombinator but a medium article with gated content ranks on top?
What do you mean by "a listing with full details available publically"? Can you give examples of articles you feel should make it to the top to HN but haven't?
The answer to why this one is doing well is clear from the comments: a lot of readers found a lot to identify with in the article. That's the important thing, not what site it appears on.
