I don’t like it. It’s clearly against the intended use of Medium. IMHO, if you don’t want a paywall, you either pay for the product or leave the website.

- Spivak 9y agoI don't think this particular implementation is unethical. It's not bypassing the paywall so much as it's querying Medium for another site where the article is published and probably isn't paywalled. No different than Googling the article title and finding the original. For content owned originally published by Medium you're on their regular free trial system.
