Recommendation AI seems like a real factor. Tiktok has the best recommendation algo in the industry- I use tiktok a lot- and the closer you approach it the better.

Please don’t make the UI full of obnoxious dark patterns. That’s killed Medium for me.

I have a lot more to say on this list of issues, but those are the most important to me. Also, if you’re reading this, please comment. I’m always excited to give feedback.

Can you further explain what you mean by dark patterns? And yes, TikTok is excellent at giving you the content you want to see, which is why I think having an algorithm that is somewhat remotely close to TikTok's algo will make a greater experience for those that prefer to read long-form text content.

What other issues do you have?

The nagging attempts to get you to log in or install an app are seriously annoying.

Maybe the problem is that we need less algorithmic curation these days, and not more.
