I've followed you - looks interesting!

I have to say, here on Medium, the click-bait titles leading to content of unpredictable interest is somewhere between annoying and frustrating. My work-around has been to follow those authors/pubs that are interesting (to me), and to use 'Following' as my own sort-of-curated version of Medium. Mute' doesn't seem to do anything at all to my 'Recommended' list. It'd be nice if there was some kind of upvote/downvote capability that'd be reflected in what's in my Recommended list, but given that 'Mute' still does nothing, I'd expect that functionality approximately never.

I'd ask that you not give up on Medium altogether as I appreciate what you're writing and think more people should see it - and I don't think Substack makes for an expanding audience.
