It would be a lot better if I could follow the people I follow. You briefly gave me that capability. Why did you take it away? It used to be that in the upper right of my page, I could expand the window and see the latest story by every single person and publication that I follow. Now I only get maybe 10 or 15 of the most popular people I follow in the upper left. But guess what? The most popular writers are not the ones I like best. It's patronizing and disabling to spoonfeed me what you think I want. Let me decide for myself. Why bother following anyone when their stories never appear in my feed? At this point, the follow function seems pointless. If you don't make the reading experience better, what's the point of being here? The design looks great. How lovely it would be if it also functioned that way! Also, I would very much like to see the claps and comments of the people I follow. That's how I discover new writers I like. Removing that function was once again patronizing and disabling and a mistake. I've seen these complaints from multiple readers and writers. Please listen and respond.
