All of Medium's best writers will jump ship due to the recent changes. It's wildly disrespectful to try to make writers write to please elite editors instead of everyday readers. (Ev Williams should get rid of all curators and boost nominators and just let a great algorithm deliver on reader wishes.)

Umair, as a paying reader I think I speak for thousands when I say that you are one of the main reasons I'm on Medium. You've brought massive value to this platform and it is their loss for not appreciating you.

Please let us know where you're headed.
