I read your latest piece about the Boost on Medium, Sherry. Apparently the Boost stirrs a lot of strong emotions (as every change on Medium does). It's a shame people try to game the system but that's what Medium also expected to happen.

I bet you know that back in the day when people were paid for claps there were also writers who tried to boost each other's earnings by simply clapping for each other 50 times. Now the number of claps doesn't matter anymore. One clappers are welcome. 👏

However, I'd like to understand your point more. If you want to you can explain it to me.

Sure 😊 I hope I'll see your posts more often in my feed now and can support you this way. The read ratio is part of the new earnings calculation.

Fingers crossed one of your opinion pieces will be Boosted soon. Let me know once it happens.
