Yes, Pamela, I had been noticing that trend myself. I finally joined a few weeks ago so as to make sure I don’t miss any of the writers in publications I follow or participate in.
This is good, since it permits me to see “everything”. However, Medium continues to send me messages about stuff in which I have NO interest.
I used to be very excited about Medium but in recent times the changes they have made have not pleased me and I continue to feel that Evs’ dream of sustaining Medium by membership is an un workable plan.
I used to be excited about all the publications, but now I am reticent to be involved. I have pared down my groups that I submit to on a regular basis to four.
