You know, Tony, I have no animosity towards you or anyone at Medium. I enjoy this platform. However, it's really hard to suss out the 'truth' about Medium. A day ago I complained, in this thread, about people showing up on my feed again and again, that I don't follow.

I saw three that I may have indeed read in the past, an one I've commented on and exchanged comments on various articles (hers, mine, others) but again, I don't follow her. All three authors had between 3-5 stories in the first 30 or so stories in my feed.

This morning, when I checked my feed, NONE of them where there, not even one story. Additionally, there were more stories from people and publications I actually follow. It is hard to believe that this is a coincidence.
