news/media livelihoods depend on that paywall, i'm fine with that.
medium literally exists to just put a wall between you and the authors content. nobody's making real money blogging on medium. and HN is an audience of developers, for whom standing up their own blog is trivial.
ironically dev.to is shadowbanned on HN (understandable because lots of blogpspam), when medium is the one that gives readers a terrible reading experience.
