Interesting - i’ve read a lot of medium articles over the years on a daily basis, and not once it ever gave me an “upgrade” button.
Maybe the writer can decide if it the article is free to use? I don’t know - but from my experience Medium is one of the more “open” platforms without any restrictions for the reader.
Strange our experiences are so different.
- ethanwillis 6y agoThis is the exact opposite of what I experience. Maybe we're in different countries(I'm in the U.S.) and they're targeting for upgrades based on location. Medium used to be a great resource, but now I loathe seeing it and I won't even bother clicking a medium link.
- BlackiceNetwork 6y agoIm in Europe. And I must add, after reading more comments, I always browse private mode, and open new tab for every link that I visit. So could also be workflow related maybe. Or combi of both? Maybe share a medium with “upgrade” link that I can visit and compare end-results?
- ethanwillis 6y agoCould definitely be workflow related. Here's one that shows the upgrade button/overlay for me. https://medium.com/better-programming/getting-started-with-creative-coding-16072ff7e778 https://medium.com/better-programming/getting-started-with-c...
