I did not downvote, I was under the wrong impression that all medium posts are under paywall but I checked now ( https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018834314-Stories-that-are-part-of-the-metered-paywall https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018834314-Stori... ) and it seems the blogger must opt-in into it, so maybe the downvoters also had same impression as me. Still weird that some person wants to promote some conference and fine volunteers and puts it under a paywall.
