I followed your clues and found the article in question by the writer that blocked you. A few years ago, Medium editors promoted that writer pushily in the Medium Daily Digest. I read one of her articles and skimmed a few more. She offers emotional exhibitionism that Americans love. Despite living here for 37 years, I did not Americanize enough; I am still disgusted with that kind of journalism. The weakness of Medium is that writers like her are among the most popular.
