HELP! The Ask a Manager blog is everywhere!

problem

I have muted (super-disliked) Ask a Manager by title, author, category and URL. And yet it continues to show up in both Widely Read and Long Reads feeds unabated.

Relatedly, at a philosophical level, I think it is a problem that a handful of blogs dominate both these categories. I can see why that makes sense for widely read (people love office gossip?) but I don’t think Ask a Manager should qualify as a long read. I don’t think it would ever be selected on longform.org or longreads.org.

Yep, you’re right, those classifiers weren’t being correctly applied. I’ll fix this tonight and deploy it. I’m also going to work on adding some diversity to these two feeds so no one publisher dominates.

Thank you, on both counts!
