Bella, this is concerning and it seems we are forever walking on eggshells. A few of my friends have been revoked from the Partner Program recently.
i have stopped adding tags to all my articles as a precaution, even though this has caused a drop in the number of reads, claps, comments etc.
It is probably wise that we do try to read and engage with writers outside our "friend" group. Thank you for bringing this up and holding Medium to account.
