currently I am rather irritated with Medium.

Why are you using this comment space to try to market this program? You have a lot of nerve putting a non comment on this story that you clearly did not read.

Rather than joining some spurious promotions program, I would like to see Medium fixing some of its really bad UI issues, and right now, I would like to see Stats returned to how they were before.

I like to write, I write for the joy of it and am glad that Medium provides a platform for writers.
