Hi Carol,
This is 7th or 8th such article I've read. I don't rant often, and complain even less, I also don't write Medium Meta to scrape for the those pennies.
But I too had enough, I too had my love for writing on this previously excellent platform eroded by losing the entity "face" bar and now the removal of the curation notices. Like you my curation rates were high and consistent.
Yesterday, I penned a piece and tagged Stubblebine for his confusing decisions.
Adding my link, not because I'm pandering for a read but for solidarity. The direction of Medium is down and I'd like to see it recover.
At least Stubblebine replied, guessing it must have stung a little.
