Your frustration is completely understandable!
I am concerned about the missing article time length.
It's unsettling when platforms we rely on for our creative work make unexpected changes that disrupt our routines and affect user experience.
It's crucial for us as writers and readers to efficiently navigate through content without unnecessary confusion.
Hopefully, Medium will gather feedback from users like you and consider adjustments that improve clarity and usability. In the meantime, adapting to these changes and finding ways to manage your reading and writing routines might help mitigate some of the frustration. Stay resilient, and here's hoping for smoother updates in the future!
