Discovering New Reads: A Human Touch in Digital Choices
Written on
Chapter 1: The Digital Reading Landscape
In today's world, articles on platforms like Medium are organized by various topics, with personalized suggestions appearing on the "For You" page, driven by algorithms.
Special thanks to everyone who has stood by me during this difficult time. I’m currently working on a unique article that I plan to share soon.
Suzie Alexander, Just Robyne, Theresa Chau, Velvetstar64, Bin Jiang, Robert Roth, Glenn M Stewart, AI Tech Innovate, Jezebelle Darling, Saloua Khelfaoui, and The Wandering Mind Of KCB are among those I appreciate.
While Medium promotes itself as a platform created by humans for humans, the reality is that many selections are made by artificial intelligence, which often lacks the nuanced understanding that a human reader possesses.
Honestly, which would you rather rely on for your reading choices: a human being with emotions and understanding or a mere algorithm that struggles to differentiate quality content?
For this reason, I encourage you to seek out stories curated by real people. This is a practice I maintained until recently, but I encountered some challenges worth discussing.
Allow me to share a glimpse of elegance, class, and refined taste that you’ll instantly recognize. Recently, I decided to adjust my approach to content curation, though I remain committed to providing a voice for writers.
Here are some exceptional authors whose work embodies both contemporary and future literary excellence:
- Alicia Pinn — Exploring the Meaning Behind "Twin Flames"
- Just Robyne — A Message of Gratitude
- Jean Davis — The Intertwining of Seasons in Georgia
- Anthony Eichberger — A Tribute to Truth: Fall 2023
- Bin Jiang — Your Thoughts on Medium's New Stats Interface?
- Lea Bardot — Insights from My Experiment with Medium's Algorithm
Thank you all for your unwavering support. Remember, if you’re not part of the problem, you’re part of the solution.
P.S.: I invite you to read about my recent experiences. The past 48 hours have been intense, and I’ve published several stories that reflect this journey. You are appreciated.
