The coming changes do seem mostly possible good ones. Certainly, allowing writers to enter the partner program as soon as the become members seems more equitable. I always thought that having to get a hundred followers first things was rather arbitrary.
One thing I really wish they'd do right now is stop notifying me when anyone highlights something I've highlighted on another writer's post. Why do I even want to know that? It just fills up and clutters my notifications! There are days when I miss someone who interacted on my own posts because they're lost in the highlighting notifications.
Query: Have you found Medium to be particularly lagging lately? It's not an issue I'm having with any other platforms. But, Medium is really lagging. And, I dare not even try to use the robowhine – which I run (you can turn off the volume) to be sure I spend the full read time on a post.
