Hey, Louise! My intention absolutely was not to promote the program -- it was simply to reach you via another method when I didn't hear back from you via email. You had expressed interest in the Boost Nomination Pilot via the waitlist, and I was just trying to cover my bases to ensure that you'd received your invitation.

There's no need for me to promote the Boost Nomination Pilot -- I'm actually dealing with the opposite issue. I'm currently overwhelmed by the number of publishers wanting to get into the program (there are close to 800 folks who've expressed interest in via the waitlist you signed up for). My comment here was simply an effort to do my best to make sure that a publisher who'd expressed interest in the program didn't miss out on the opportunity to get involved.

All that being said, I super hear you on your challenges with Medium. Our engineering team is actually working on the stats pages this week, so hopefully things will get less frustrating for you there soon!
