Since the article author appears to be the submitter: you should quit Medium. It's not helping your content when a full-page popup obscures it and entices your users away to a sign-up page, then keeps nagging them with popup nagbars on either end of the page.

If you need help migrating to another platform, please shoot me an email.

This extension helps Medium become readable again. https://makemediumreadable.com/

Not the OP, and I don’t disagree re: the nightmare Medium has (predictably) become. But I’d love to know what platform would you suggest?

I self-host my Jekyll-based blog, by compiling each push on builds.sr.ht and rsync'ing it onto a static web server. Basically roll-your-own GitHub pages. I also wrote a tool which converts your Medium posts into a Jekyll blog.

Have you considered building https://cdn.sr.ht? I do a similar process for some sites and use AWS CloudFront to essentially get globally deployed static sites.

Since this is a workflow you've encountered might be something that people would pay for. I definitely like a CloudFront alternative that wasn't as overpriced.
