      *This is a top posts dataset, so ~0 is mby not great, but if they're going to operate at scale, I'm judging performance compared to scale.

        * Still I suppose ~0 is not great here. So let's say ~0 is equal to 'does badly on the platform in comparison to top performers'? Mea culpa

        Medium is bad at promoting things that are in a traditional journalistic style.

          Turns out Medium's format isn't amazing for promoting long reading after all. Optimal length is more than 1,440 words, but less than 2,000

            Though I guess only the media was deluding itself about this one. Medium made that clear a while back medium.com/data-lab/the-optimal-post-is-7-minutes-74b9f41509b#.hv8wordo2

              Yes, I know: "So this dataset represents the most popular 0.00336% stories of 2016." Still, not a single traditional pub article in there?
