      I don’t happen across Medium very often so I wondered what this sentiment was about.

      Apparently Medium is basically YouTube for bloggers and essayists (with apologies to those who surely think that’s an insulting comparison) and the new CEO messed with the algorithm so much that now writers’ content isn’t being promoted as well as it used to be, and the people who subscribed (or followed, or whatever) aren’t even seeing that content as much any more.

      ~… and it seems there’s no option to get a notification about new content from favourite writer, but maybe I’ve missed it. No “ring that bell” here.~ Edit: When I turned on JavaScript I got a pop-up implying that exists, at least for people who aren’t logged in.

      But as far as I can tell, that doesn’t necessarily mean we should hate the content that’s on there.
