Thank you for demystifying curation and some of the new rules. Dozens of similar articles have been written on this topic that reveal other dos and don’ts As well. For example you’re not supposed to write a series of articles on the same topic. Medium curators do not always follow their rules and they admit they cannot keep up with the volume of creation. Then there is ‘creation jail,’ of which I have been a victim, even though Medium denies there is such a place. Anyway, it can be complicated and frustrating. My answer? Just keep writing! If you put out high quality work, eventually you will be curated.
