Shannon, I feel with you. Some Medium changes are not optimal, even if comprehensible.

“Thou shalt not repost" is one of them. Of course, we need new ideas, new topics and narratives. But along with creating new contents and with continuous growing readers community the danger is, old contexts you love and would like to present your readers, can quickly get lost in the publishing archives.

This is not only issue of the writer, who has to rethink publishing strategies without infringing Medium Guidelines.

But it is also am issue of Medium UI. I would appreciate if our profiles or publishing blocks would allow some re-activation functions like “Random Article" or “On this day x years ago", or “my top 10 Articles". We dan do it manually, but such functionality would support revitalization our old (but not necessarily outdated) contents.
