The sheer amount is zero with an ad blocker enabled.

I consider UBO basically mandatory for browsing the web in 2025, too many sites are unusable and infuriating without it.

I had two popups visiting that medium link with uBlock Origin. Perhaps it is possible to get zero with UBO, but default settings don't seem to be enough.

I think you need to enable the Easy List Annoyances filters.

OP might also be using a list like the "Anti-adblock Filter". You also might want to explore the settings of UBO as there are more lists titled "Annoyances" that you can enable to shut out further garbage.
