Would be great if we could have built-in Outline support on HN, or some kind of bot commenting a link automatically when someone posts a story with a paywall. Just throwing an idea out there. :)
That's a great idea actually!
@dang are such bots allowed in HN? I can roll it out pretty easily with Monitoro (https://monitoro.xyz) and would be happy to cover the costs.
Thx!
I'm not logged in and it lets me read it. But I probably didn't have a cookie from Medium when i went there.
So try deleting your Medium cookies as a workaround.
I hate the fact some sites using their own domain use medium, and still require the login.
There is also a limit on articles you can read before they throw up a paywall. No clue why anybody would use this as their blogging platform.
I thought that was opt-in by the author?
No, they've changed that. They probably received funding and are now desperate to earn that money back. There should be a site like Medium that wasn't tainted by Vulture Capitalists.
I am logged in, and I can't read it.
I use Firefox focus which has no session or cookies stored, and I never has a problem with medium articles. Do they save the read articles locally in normal browsers and block the user after a certain threshold?
The article works fine for me, and I do not have an account for that. (I don't like the formatting, but it is readable.) (I don't even see any mention of login.)
