Thanks for answering my long standing question re: publications and reads. Here's another issue w/ Medium publications - I FORGET about the publications' home pages - I just go to the Following and For You tabs. Medium privileges individual articles over its "magazines" which then makes those magazines somewhat irrelevant. If there was a re-design where the publications we subscribe to come up on our home page FIRST then those publications/mags would be priveleged over individual articles. I don't know if that would matter though re: reads.
