I think in the past, 90% of writer don't even have their article curated in the first place. And this i believe is because Medium does not have a good algorithm to pick up good stores for curation.
My guess is that curators only scan through the topic and read only the ones that gets their attention.
I dont see any difference with your post. the only thing is see is that you have succeeded in removing the fake hope writer do get with message " Under review". which at the end, it reads "this article is not distributed."
