There's the rub. Those of us who have written on Medium for years, with plenty of curated, Boosted, or whatever the Approval Method a la Mode is, can't help but feel disrespected by the lack of info. I get that Medium's leaders have to constantly adapt to an environment that's changing faster than anyone can keep up with, but their silence invites distrust -- and that's not good for any organization. I'm with you on the Friends of Medium program. I was all in, happily, but now I'm feeling kinda dumb.
