Great article. It seems the platform is constantly eliminating whatever is motivating or whatever works well. It's harder than ever for me to find the writers I follow, and the same stories pop up in my feed for over a week, even when I've read them.
I'll stick around with one foot in the door to see what happens, because Medium is always changing things up and reinventing itself.
It's very hard to find out how well Medium is doing as a company. It's also difficult to discover what gets people booted off for "violating standards," etc. But mainly, I just don't see a lot of new articles appearing on my screen when I check in.
