What on earth are you talking about? From the link you posted:
> Stories become eligible to be part of the metered paywall if the writer selects that option in each story’s distribution setting. Medium will never meter a story without the writer’s permission.
> During the publish flow, you have the opportunity to check the box to be eligible for curation review and distribution across Medium. Checking this box means that your story is also eligible to be part of Medium’s metered paywall, and can earn money if you are in the Medium Partner Program.

- reificator 7y agoYour second quote implies that the paywall and the partner program are separate.
- dickeytk 7y agoPartner Program is a prerequisite for having paywalled articles. https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018677974-About-Medium-s-distribution-and-earnings-system https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018677974-About...
- reificator 7y agoI don't see why, that link still implies that you can have paywalled articles without being part of the partner program. Follow the chart from the top: > Are you enrolled in the partner program? NO > Would you like to be eligible for curator review? YES > Was the story curated? YES > Story is distributed by Medium, is part of the paywall, and does not earn money.
- dickeytk 7y agoYou're right actually: curation is paywalled even without payment. Still, it's not enabled by default: https://imgur.com/lFY0hzp https://imgur.com/lFY0hzp
