I absolutely detest finding Medium articles in search results. Often they contain good knowledge which confuses me even more. For anyone unaware - it seems a lot of people must be, otherwise I don't understand why anyone would choose to publish there - this is the flow for most users trying to read your articles: - See a Google search result that goes to Medium - Click the link and start reading - Read the first two paragraphs, then see a popup saying you need to login to continue reading for free (the rest of the page isn't rendered, so you can't just block it with adblock) - Reluctantly decide to login, waiting a few minutes for the email link to click on to do so - Log in, then have to navigate your history back to the article, as they take you to a different page - Start reading again, and after the first two paragraphs get a popup saying you need to pay $5/mo to see the rest of the article - Rage quit your job and go live in the forest I understand there are ways around the paywall, but that's not what most users are going to do.
