I did make a point of mentioning how important smaller pubs* like yours are to Medium's community spirit and how they are never featured or recommended. I didn't name the pubs because I was hesitant to have anyone feel dragged into my rather poking the bear tone, it feels anarchic at this point not to tow the party line sadly. The creative growth and quality of writing on site will take a huge hit if people like you leave but I completely understand your frustration. (* edited to say not that the A.E. is “small”, I think it is big and wonderful in all of the ways that matter. Just in comparison to the so called big pubs, whose follower numbers never seem to add up to reads from what I’ve seen with a few exceptions!).
