I'll go even further: please stop posting articles on Medium, ever, because they have paywall which prevents many of us from reading them (and they profit off the author's labor).

For any quantitatively-oriented person, the quickest solution might be to write the article in LaTeX and host it on github.io, but other solutions are of course possible (e.g. MathJax and some other free web hosting).

Sure, but this gives little visibility and it will be skewed versus a particular audience. ArXiv is a better alternative then, but again it restricts the audience.

Btw, I thought the article was not behind a paywall ... I chose not to profit from it by not activating the option. I need to check again how it works.

For paywalled sites that let users read X free articles, the easiest solution for me was to block all cookies from the site, i.e. block all cookies from [*.]medium.com. Medium will always think that "You have 2 free member-only stories left this month". This has worked for nytimes and medium so far.

Always wondering: when will this fall under some law of 'computer assisted fraud' or so.
