Medium doesn't paywall content...yet. They have been raising walls for months now, with all the elements in place - "you have read X articles, register for more"; all they need is to flip the metaphorical paymentRequired bit.
- CharlesW 7y ago> Medium doesn't paywall content...yet. They do paywall member-only content with a real-life paymentRequired bit[1], which writers are encouraged to use. You can (for now) create content that doesn’t require a membership to read. [1] https://link.medium.com/ptFLm9KZV1 https://link.medium.com/ptFLm9KZV1
- calebkaiser 7y agoWhen you publish a story, they ask if you'd like them to curate it for distribution—then include that opting for distribution automatically paywalls your story. It's less than ideal.
- grammarxcore 7y agoThanks for the differentiation! I was pretty sure there was some paywalled content out there but I know this article is not in that category. I appreciate you sharing.
