I just straight up don't click on Medium links anymore because it's all behind a login wall anyway
I’m the same with TechCrunch, something in my adblockers consistently breaks their site completely and I just never care enough to figure out what.
Is it? I installed the "make medium readable again" extension and also blocked cookies. I don't even have an account there. Haven't seen any annoyances there in ages.
mastodon quixote, missing out isn't exactly a great alternative
@Gargron sometimes I lynx it.
But not often
@Gargron 3 free reads per... day, month is it?
@Gargron You're not missing that much. The signal-to-noise ratio there was really bad, last time i looked.
@Gargron go to dev.to !
@Gargron it was frustrating to see them start off open but then go towards that model..
@Gargron I'm going in the same direction, notedly.
@Gargron use uBlock, it blocks it, I think. If not I've seen some other solutions, but I don't remember how were they named.

@gargron It's sad, in only a few short years Medium went from being one of the web's most pleasant reading experiences to being, perhaps not the worst, but bad enough that I actively avoid them.
