Why Is My Feed Full Of Tech Stories From People I Don’t Even Follow

What’s going on here, Medium?

Dear Medium,

I don’t follow all that many people compared to the number that follow me because I want to improve my chances of seeing new stories from people whose writing I really enjoy. But even so, I’ve noticed for some time that my Medium home page is increasingly populated with tech stories from people I don’t follow talking about coding and other stuff that I have zero interest in and have never read even one story about.

But today, today really took the cake. Rather than seeing the latest work from people I routinely read and interact with, I got this. I don’t know what some of it even means:

• How To Create A Chatbot With Python
• UX fundamentals
• 8+ Years Of Experience Isn’t The Definition of a Senior Software Engineer
• Open-sourcing riskqvant
• Front Series C Deck
• A note to supporters of ACRONYM
• Build A highly scalable dashboard that runs on Kubernetes
• Anonymouse web scraping with Node.js
• The Amazon Data Scientist Interview
• Web scraping with Python made easy
