I don't think you understand how Medium works. This is part of the paywall, pay-wall is opt-in for content. And incognito browser will get you to read the post for free, but I won't get any royalties as the author, if that's what you want. I honestly don't understand why developers have such a problem valuing their time and the time of others.
