Out of curiosity, does that include the previous curation system that Medium had in place, or only since they've begun doing "Boosts"? I've had this running theory that each time a story of mine is selected it makes subsequent selections less likely, so that they can give them to more undiscovered writers. You might be the first person I've talked to who's gotten gotten more than 10. I thought I'd hit the jackpot when my 9th piece got selected. Sadly out of the 9, though, only 1 really amounted to anything consequential for me.

And news-oriented topics are totally welcome, too! I try not to be too restrictive. The main things I'm really trying to avoid are cheap self-help crap, listicles, AI-written drivel, and erotica. I'd love more political pieces truthfully! Whatever you end up sending our way I'm sure I'd enjoy reading.
