I’m so happy new code just rolled out to me and Medium got rid of the obnoxious side bar within stories and now have restored the identity of all highlighters to the right side of the page!!!

17 months ago I published:

The fact that story perfored quite well statistically both pleased and bothered me.

Medium screwing with the wonderful community building, feedback, and meaningfully engaging highlight function comprised only part of my rant — I am pleased to see they fixed it — I doubt they listened to me — perhaps many others noted the absurdity or perhaps someone at the company possesses wisdom and vision beyond profit motive and values the community.

My story contained a few other complaints — the clap system they really and truly should address and fix — at the very least people would stop writing annoying stories about clap for me and others or aggravatingly asking for claps within their stories and complain about those who single clap.
