I completely agree with what you’ve written, Tina. I would much rather get an email notification when I’ve been curated and be able to see the topic too. I don’t fully understand the logic behind not being able to see it.
I read that it was supposed to take our minds off the statistics, but I’m way worse now than before. We have to check the article’s stats constantly if we want to see if it has been distributed. And I gave up on finding the topic coz even that code hack did not work.
I love Medium so much, and it may just be the best thing that happened to me last year. I am definitely going to stay with the platform as long as I can. But I really hope they bring the old system back.
