Day 2 at Medium: Log on to perform official government business, get served two scoops of erotica

President Biden often faces criticisms about his uh, performance, but this time really wasn’t his fault.

On The Verge

Medium is a powerful platform. The ecosystem attracts as many writers as readers — some say more. People have a lot to say. Medium gives them a voice.

The most powerful voice in the world is arguably the President of the United States. POTUS, for short.

After a single post on Medium contributed to Biden’s 2020 presidential victory over the Man In The Golden Tower, the White House sat down to discover what else Medium’s platform could offer the presidency.

The algorithm arouses the unexpected

Though Medium is run by a small team of people, the platform’s algorithm — think of it as a kind of artificial intelligence — also learns by mining each user’s data. The power of an algorithm is in its ability to respond quickly and accurately to a user’s preferences.
