Question for everyone. I had the same problem as Mr. Gaertner - feeling like I was missing my favorite writers. I decided to try and fix it myself and now I'm wondering if anyone has tried this too.
I opened a new Gmail account just for Medium and Substack. Then I started hitting my favorite Medium writers' email me when this writer publishes button. Now I get a self-curated list of new work by my favorite writers in my email box.
Medium writers are starting to do what Andrew is doing here and I get a much better references from writers, than I do from Medium.
PS. Thank you for the mention and nice comment, Mr. Gaertner.
PPS Dear Medium, please put more attention on readers experience. Readers need tools too.
