Hey Michael, funny as usual 😂 well, TPGSG wasn't accepted as well. So I think the follower count etc is only one factor Ariel from Medium takes into account. She's adding more and more pubs. Now there are more than 100 Boost eligible pubs. So I guess there are and will be more humor supporting pubs
As Robin said Nomonators for Humor are watching you and the others no matter for which pub you write or if you self publish your posts
For more I recommend checking out my interviews with Medium and Boost nominators on YouTube.
Talk soon Dr Funny , Kristina
