Hi Shannon,
Would you be open to reading my full response in context?
I'm just not sure we are on the same page. Specifically, I want to make sure nobody thinks I have a problem with her being divisive. I'm just taking her at face value that she thinks she is so that I can explain how that would show up in the current platform dynamics.
Totally agree that Medium used to be able give a lot more distribution to the top posts. I was here for that and think there has been a massive unnecessary dillution of attention. And then separately that the top posts are overly weighted to engagement signals rather quality.
I'm not the enemy on this--I took this job to make Medium better. And even that response above to Jessica is part of that work. That's me taking the time to give more information to a top writer.
