No, I think tags help. I check by using my wife's account and she is not siphoned off.

I am firmly against publishing anywhere but in my own publications. I do not want my posts mixed in with others. That will siphon off readers!

I do think the new Lists are worthwhile. My views jumped after I started my Lists. That could be coincidental, but I told another Medium friend; she then created a List and her views jumped up. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
