Appreciate the response.
If we look at the definition of censorship, it says "censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others."
You are absolutely right that Medium is not the New York Times. So what we'd be doing is asking people who lack the skill and training of a NYT editor to decide what's okay here and what isn't.
Do we just "ban" the posts that are bogus how to make money posts? Or do we ban the people who write tutorials about how to make a publication, how to format a post, etc. Some meta posts are actually helpful. Do those go too?
The solution isn't to let someone else arbitrarily decide what the rest of us can or can't read. The bigger problem is Medium shoving "recommended" content in our faces. I don't see any of that stuff only
"following" page, only on the "recommended for you" page.
