I totally hear you on this. Like much of the internet, Medium has changed a LOT these past couple years -- and with AI getting tossed into the mix this year, things are extra accelerated.

As a start up, we're doing the best we can to adapt to an industry landscape that has been especially brutal this year: https://www.fastcompany.com/91035879/news-media-layoffs-2024-list-growing-worst-year-financial-crisis

All this in mind, more change is anticipated -- especially when we're talking about the Boost Nomination Pilot, which is still in beta because we're learning a lot and making changes as we go.

If you want to follow along, The Medium Blog is your best bet: https://blog.medium.com. And I can speak for myself when I say that I try to respond to every single question that writers leave on my posts over there.

I know things are moving quickly, and I do my best to be as transparent as possible with folks who have questions. Thanks for being part of the conversation!
