Dr. Yildiz: This is an unfortunate development considering your subject matter expertise, unique topic choices, as well as exemplary writing and storytelling. I’ve been on Medium’s partner program since 2018 and it seems to me that for every step forward with purported algorithm enhancements and other changes, there are always two or more steps backwards. My frustration with low stats caused me to abandon Medium for many months. But, thankfully, discovering and contributing to ILLUMINATION was like a breath of fresh air which sparked my renewed writing on Medium. I really hope the Medium editorial team takes the time to communicate with you and respond accordingly to the questions and concerns of users which you have deftly expressed.
