I usually just drop into the browser dev tools and delete those elements. But I also try to avoid medium, blocking its domains by default and only unblocking if I really, really want to read something (which is becoming increasingly uncommon, since I don't like how medium basically say "we need to share your data with third parties"). I blocked medium in my hosts file for a while, but that turned out to be a little bit too inconvenient. I usually hope that the HN comments can give me enough information so I can stay away from medium...
