To be fair, custom domains and mobile editing were re-added, after being discontinued previously. Regardless, glad that they're back!

Regarding the recommendation system, I've been seeing an excess of stories about Medium, and not from people or publications I'm following either. I remember when such stories were ineligible for earnings under the Partner Program. I realize this is no longer the case (and might be impossible without manual curation in any case). But I thought these meta stories were at least not being actively promoted. Could you please clarify?
