Well, I read Medium for a long time every day, and I did not see this story by you until right now. This is a huge problem for me, and one I have brought up many times over the years. At one point, a Medium manager posted to say that the following feed had been fixed. But it's not fixed. Hardly any of the people I follow are in my following feed. I don't know why Medium refuses to show us the stories by the people we follow, but they do, consistently, and despite an announcement to the contrary.
The broader question might be why Medium refuses to be respectful to its communities of writers and readers — meaning why Medium operations consistently lack honesty, transparency, and basic respect for the human beings who read and write here.
