What this pass recorded. Nothing confirmed this pass. Medium's structural feature worth recording is that reading history on a publishing platform is a belief-and-interest profile: what you read, how far you got, and what you saved. Medium hosts substantial writing on health, addiction, politics and sexuality, and a reading log across that material is inference-rich in ways a user browsing casually would not anticipate. Unverified rather than clean.
