Your second quote implies that the paywall and the partner program are separate.

  Partner 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...

    I 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.

      You're right actually: curation is paywalled even without payment. Still, it's not enabled by default: https://imgur.com/lFY0hzp https://imgur.com/lFY0hzp
