Implied contracts aren't a thing. If someone sends me some trash along with the content I requested, I'm absolutely free to configure my own device to ignore the trash and only display the useful content. I've never seen paywalls neither on Medium nor on Substack, but I've seen plenty of annoyances like Substack's "hey, did you know this is a mailing list, subscribe to it" in-your-face modal and Medium's "sign up blah blah" thing that takes up half my viewport area.
