Tony, on behalf of Barry here, who has met the same fate, I want to implore you to reinstate his account, with some guidelines if you like. Yes, he engages with lots of his favourite writers, but he came to Medium after reading a piece I wrote in a magazine, has been a long-term fan, and I don't feel his engagement is in anyway inauthentic. The subscription option and taking away the entity bar makes people more likely to read systematically or targeted because you're literally saying the only way to keep up with favourite writers is to subscribe. Then you punish them for doing that. Please review Barry's account. Thank you muchly. https://medium.com/@barry16rushen
