What would i DO, Linda, without your marketing genius to keep my poet's head in the sand apprised of developments? I'm so grateful. News sounds exciting to me.

Lol, Jen. Well I don't write poetry like you do, so I have to find the place I can shine. lol

As a Medium READER, I think this is great. I never liked topics, they weren't good at finding what I wanted to read. Tags give me more power to fine-tune my searches (and I read in some really small niches).

I honestly don't know what to think about Medium changes....ever. I have noticed a SHARP decline in views and exposure though, and I'm not sure what to make of it. But I'm not here to be analytical about it because there's no point lol.

Have you seen the post about the "related" box some people are seeing? I'm not one of the guinea pigs in that experiment, but I wonder if that's causing the decline. If you have no freaking clue what I'm talking about I'll find the link and show. it sucks. Hope that one died on the lab floor.

Nope haven't seen it. I've been a little sidetracked and absent.

It's a beta, and not everyone is seeing this. I don't, but others have taken screen caps. Here you go! https://fnfwriter.medium.com/what-the-hell-is-this-medium-7431dabc6c81

The one I’m seen a lot is the two men outside typing poems on manual typewriters.

Lol, you're right. I totally missed those. And that old typewriter with the paper in it.

I am excited to see how this impacts us...OK. Honestly, I am excited to see how it impacts me personally. I won't really know how it impacts others unless they write stories about it, but I try not to read too many stories on Medium about Medium, you know? Thanks for sharing your optimism!

This has to be one of the best replies, ever. Indeed -- we all want to see how changes impact us. Hopefully for the better. lol.
