Yeah, I don't think he's collecting articles from the same place that drives someone to collect old hubcaps and ball jars. This something behind it.
Medium seems adept at sniffing out "bad" followers as soon as they set foot in someone's account, but not the other way around. Just sniffing out people who are not active and yet are doing something - a lot of something that doesn't fit. They need to sniff our behaviors as well as things after the fact.
