After 500 stories with none curated, I suddenly found 25 pieces curated in one day. From there, almost everything was curated. Then one day, almost everything was "un"curated with no explanation. And nothing has been curated since. I assure you the quality of my writing hasn't changed. I assume one curator liked me - and another above him or her in the hierarchy didn't. Yes, I reached out for an explanation. I didn't get one. I don't expect to get one here either. I'd just like to know why I was hired and fired all in one month. I said nothing bad about Medium in that time period, before, or since. Call me presumptuous, but I think an explanation is in order. Generally, when people get fired, the boss gives them a reason.
