Opening Medium in an incognito window has so far away been enough for me to get past that.

Also, are we due for a snappier phrase than "requires registration"? Loginwall, registerwall, accountwall?

In my mind it's still a paywall, it just costs time + attention + privacy.

Very much this. I think it's worth fighting against anyone who tries to dismiss these as not actually "pay"walls just because they don't require literal money, although I'd understand if other people want to head off that line of apologism in advance.
