the first layer are subject matter experts throughout the community and we’ve elevated our publication editors who are essentially the community leaders think moderators on of subreddits like they play that role in the medium ecosystem and at minimum they’re experts in what been published already on medium like they see they see everything within their topic they have so much context and most of them have their own personal life (View Highlight)

So they are still fragmented pieces of text
there just something about the like it’s jarring to switch switch modes of reading uh serialized posts that never done well um on medium (View Highlight)
