Does Medium Staff have an answer to this?
As a reader, writer and volunteer editor of ILLUMINATION publications on Medium and Substack for a few years, I heard that the publication when searched on Medium no longer shows in the search result.
Today, I tried it myself and found these irrelevant results.
Today, I tried it myself and found these irrelevant results now showing the real ILLUMINATION.
However when checked Google it shows as #1!
Why the heck Medium search does not show a publication contributed by over 36K writers and 207K+ followers does no longer show in the search results?
Readers say that they used to find it easily before. What did the new management of the platform do?
When I checked those publications they are not even significant adding value to Medium.
ILLUMINATION is five year old publication publishing over a million stories. As an editor I published over 10,000 stories and curated at least 5000 of them for avid reasons.
In addition I found a publication with identical name. As far as I know a new publication cannot be created with identical name. Did Medium change the rules?
I know I was cloned multiple times as new writers can create profiles with identical names which is a problem but I was told that a new publication with identical name cannot be created. So how was this publication created in the first place? Why did Medium system allow it and why wasn’t it noticed by the system?
Why is Medium search algorithm prioritizing a publication with only one story and not showing a gigantic publication with over a million stories followed by thousands of members?
Can Medium Staff please explain this to us as comment to this story?
Is it a programming glitch or on purpose?
I really want to learn as an avid reader, writer, editor, and content curator of this platform. Thank you.
I am very surprised but also very disappointed and concerned on the latest issues on Medium. No w, my readers say that they can no longer see my stories on their feeds. My income dropped from $500 to $20 despite significnat increase in my followers. What is going on really?
Is it because Copyleaks is lurking in their algorithm, flagging our stories as AI-generated? I really hope not, because Copyleaks gives me the goats — like, literal goats at this point!
I wrote a story about it which was censored by Medium but its another version on another platform went viral thankfully.
