Is there a way to see medium.com posts without the login-wall?

Medium is awful - why do people choose to use it? I'd like to read this article, but it won't let it to me without signing up or installing an app. No thanks.

It would be nice if HN blocked articles that required installing an app or paying a subscription etc to view.

Looks like this was also cross-posted on dev.to: https://dev.to/napicella/how-are-docker-images-built-a-look-...

Medium's thing seems to give you a limited number of views per month. It is reset by deleting cookies / local storage. (I just use Incognito.)

Incognito mode works.

There's this userscript I created a few days ago that can open the incognito window for you in those cases: https://gist.github.com/kidd/d53ca34477c45ee927105fc03b41797... . Not rocket science, but I'm happy with it so far

I've never encountered the login page for any article I've tried to read on medium.com. I wonder what triggers it?

I helped with determining that in a previous thread a while ago.

IIRC, we decided it was blocking cookies that prevents it, with a side of blocking JS.

The guidelines allow paywalled links (unfortunately, my opinion).

There used to be a link beside the submission's original that ran a web search for the title of the article, so that non-paywalled versions could be found. Did that go away or am I mixing it up with something else?

I remember that existing as well.

It's either ublock origin, or the default tracking protection of Firefox but I have never witnessed the login-wall everybody complains about.

I used it recently because of two reasons - the network effect, and it is the best in its category that's available. A competing platform with as nice of typography and layout would be welcomed.

You can read unlimited premium stories on medium if you open stories via Twitter links. Just copy the story url and message that to yourself in Twitter. Open the story link it generates from there.

This is an official feature of medium.

Thanks! Didn't know that, I usually just use incognito.
