No, I said what I intended in the prior sentence:

"Now, that said, I do want to make changes to what we recommend, especially in advice categories."

I was enumerating all changes that we made that had any impact on distribution for any authors and then trying to find connections that might explain what Jessica is reporting.

If she thinks she's potentially divisive (I have no opinion other than that she seems to think she is), then "see less like this" could impact her. That's not a bad thing--it just means people who don't want to read her are seeing her articles less often.

But in the sentence you were referencing about with my intentions, it's directed at a category of writer that I don't think applies to Jessica. She's not an advice writer in the way that we have a ton of articles in categories like how to program, how to design, how to be healthier, how to be more productive, etc.

In those categories, credibility matters a lot because you want to increase the odds that the advice is correct. But I don't think that applies or is a likely explanation.
