Why does medium.com does not allow me to sort by ratings?

I’m paid subscriber and genuinely curious why I am not able to sort the posts ? Seems like an intuitive feature that would be implemented by default. Is there a story behind this missing obvious feature ?

Not medium, but if you implement a rate based system for anything that is used as ad platform you trigger many smart minds to find ways to cheat your system

If that’s the argument, don’t you think we would never be able to find greatly rated apps in App Store or videos on YouTube, right ? Am I missing something ?

Do you? Nether Appstore nor YouTube do actually show top rated apps/videos first. Both do some algorithmic magic for suggestions
