Hello,
Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, Medium can be quite complex to parse and the actor only parsed text from the first paragraph.
You can improve that by using the Extend Output Function to point it to the correct text.
One example would be this
1($) => { 2 return { 3 text: $('article p, article ol').text().trim() 4 } 5}
https://console.apify.com/view/runs/ClHPxNgQaEw3pOYSM
But it would require better selector to get really clean text.
