The promoted and featured articles on Medium reflect the values in the place where Medium is located: Silicon Valley, San Francisco. It's as simple as that.

Have you ever seen these types of articles featured on the front page?:

- A pro-Trump article

- An anti-immigration article

- An anti-feminism article

- A pro right-wing article

These types of articles will never be featured because they do not line up with the values and beliefs of those who work at Medium.
