Incognito gets you around this. I know it's beside the point. However incognito is the laziest of bypasses to a subscription-wall which tells me Medium aren't really behind it as a strategy anyway.

One click wipes cookies, history, and local and session storage for the current site. It works on the NYT and everything else I've tried so far.

- inetknght 7y agoI use uMatrix with a global deny of everything. When going to a site never previously visited uMatrix then puts up a big warning sign indicating that the entire site is blocked. That's handy to increase anti-phishing defense depth too.
- basch 7y agoI do the same, its annoying for a while, but worth it. Now I just need a way to sync my settings between browsers, devices, phones and pc. I want one Dark Reader, uBlock, and uMatrix profile across firefox, chrome/brave/vivaldi, and phone.
- fragmede 7y agoto reiterate what you said, since others are trying to be helpful and giving other workarounds: this is besides the point. for such a simple task as publishing static text, we've got what, yet another $7.99 (or whatever), a month fee? yes, medium provides some benefit to both authors and readers, and some may find it worth it, others won't. But it's static text. www.pacbell.net/~username, or Geocities may not have been so glamorous; capitalism has an odor all its own.
