So many interesting articles I'm never going to read because of the paywall. I'm curious how people who see this actually create an account to gain access?
I personally don't think it's worth giving up an email address and spending the time to do so to read a blog post.
- lincler 3y agoWhat I usually do, is I have what I call a “public” email. This is a gmail account I use to log in in any paywall website or any service that requires an account to just see some content and I don’t care who has that email, as I just ignore any email that arrived to that account.

- throwitaway156 3y agoscribe.rip also works for medium. Or you can host your own instance.
- fouc 3y agojust add an archive.is/ in front of the url
- Dr_Birdbrain 3y agohttps://archive.md/scsr3 https://archive.md/scsr3
- jasonjmcghee 3y agoUse an archiving service like archive.ph The article isn't too much longer past the paywall and basically just says "don't try to, just familiarize yourself with the relevant code to a specific problem and you might wake up with the answer" "How to program in your sleep" is a click baity and inaccurate title for the content. A better one might be "on programming in your sleep"
- qwasas 3y agoThis one appears to be a member-only story, but Medium shows a paywall ad on non-member stories too. It's a bad business making money of articles that they don't own.
