Medium is losing its luster

It is probably me but Medium is not holding my interest like it used to. I find myself unfollowing people because either their writing has become stale or it turns out they are just not that good. I can’t brag, I am not that good either.

I still follow some good writers/publications but when they write something that does not interest me it keeps getting pushed at the top of my feed and if I don’t at least open it, it will stay their for a very long time. There should be an ignore button or something so that I am presented with something else or the algorithm should understand if it was at the top of my feed twice and I did not read it, show me something else.

It is just too hard to find things I want to read on Medium or anywhere. Either there is a dearth of interesting content or the algorithms are failing me. It is like being presented ads for things I just bought. Duh, I just bought it I don’t need another.
