Medium has been the villain for quite some time now.
But not so fast about Substack... they recently started showing modals.
In the end, running a website costs money. What are you going to do.

Does anyone have a uBlock rule to drop them all?
/* Substack modals, nags, etc. */
[class*="frontend-components-SubscribePrompt"] {
display: none;
}
Otherwise, for UBO, these two should work:
###.frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-module__subscribeDialog--2_6UY.frontend-pencraft-FlexBox-module__flex-align-center--21WCV.frontend-pencraft-FlexBox-module__flex-direction-column--2sph3.frontend-pencraft-FlexBox-module__flex--fK-9V
###.frontend-components-SubscribePrompt-module__background--2DQPj
UBO uses the Easylist blocking syntax which ... I can't seem to find documented, so I'm guessing as to the specific patterns. Corrections/clues welcomed.
There's no reason for authors (who are Substack's customers) to want to make the platform more annoying for readers (some of whom are the author's customers). If the author is not making enough money (perhaps because Substack has started taking a bigger cut to cover costs) they need only to improve their writing and/or put more of it behind the paywall in order to get more subscribers.
