Medium has the worst algorithm possible..i get recommended the same set of articles everyday..the authors i follow almost never show up on my timeline..the pieces that are actually gud never get cascading views even if they get a lot of engagement..thats how gud articles surface..new writers shud b given equal amount of impressions to get their ctr up..wat medium seems to do is promote handpicked articles..hype up a couple of articles for a few days and let it fade away into obscurity after a few days..and feed some other crappy articles with clickbait titles constantly on other people’s timelines..it shud learn a thing or two about algorithms from youtube..youtube has nailed down this game to a perfection.
