So, how does that BOOST program work? You just post a story (of any nature or a specific nature?) here?, and you decide whether or not to further circulate it somewhere?, then some kind of review is done to see if it merits $200?

A story is posted on Medium. A nominator (like me), can submit it to be considered for internal curation. The curators review the submission and determine whether to give it a Boost. If it gets a Boost, it gets a distribution advantage, but it doesn't necessarily make $200. I've had Boosted stories make $50 and I've had others make $3,000+.

Thank you for explaining the process. :)

I'd never heard of that.

It's been in play at medium for about 2 years and the program has evolved a lot in that time. It's still relatively new.

Sounds like a great opportunity for writers to get some recognition.
