Did you see this post that went up last week on the Medium blog? https://blog.medium.com/updated-guidelines-for-boost-47799aad8899

In it, Medium's Head of Curation links to the actual training manual that's used by Medium's internal curators.

Now, granted: Boosting is just one way to get distributed on Medium. But as you know by having been Boosted before, it amplifies your MPP earnings, so it's worth reading about the Boost quality standards and setting your sights there: https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006362473

It might feel more gratifying than writing polemics..
