Can you access through this url? https://gillesbarbier.medium.com/the-way-we-are-building-eve...

You should publish on your own blog, and syndicate to other places (Medium, substack, hackernoon, etc).

This is better than:

a) Publishing only on your own blog

b) Publishing only on the most popular site.

After all, your goal is to spread your message as far as possible. Single-site publications don't make sense in that context.

Negative, either that url or incognito for me.

hmm, that's strange - it's a special "friend" url and I can access it myself from an incognito window using this url (I have a Medium banner to subscribe but I can close it).

Are you talking about the ad that asks you to consider paying for the content but has a little X to dismiss the dialog? Does Medium disable that X in different regions or is there another blocker I'm not seeing?

Sometimes you can bypass this with private navigation, or using another browser
