That's a good idea about those emails. Tony once put out a toot on Mastodon asking just that.

I've seen the same thing as have the people who say it's not always their best stories that get boosted. Since August the process has seemed willfully capricious, even perverse. And I'm speaking as someone who gets boosted a lot, not as a sore loser who seldom or never does.

Medium really needs to get this under control fast, in my view, or there will be mass defections and bad PR from which it might not be able to recover. Thanks so much for your helpful perspective.
