Shitty medium links!!! What I see every time I click.

1000 thank you dear stranger this is most useful tip I have seen today :)


I had that, then I opened the same link in incognito and it displayed the post, failing that I'd just rotate my VPN IP and incognito again.



Well, blog writing is clearly an income source for the author, so no surprises there. Although we could argue about how much of a good or bad idea is to publish something behind a paywall on HN which clearly has the intention of reaching as much people as possible...


For a time I was using Medium to mirror some of my more general interest posts because I had the impression that some readers took things on Medium as being somehow more authoritative than on a personal blog. But even given a somewhat porous paywall, I don't want to expose people to get more of this sort of thing than I need to.


I see the Cloudflare captcha page.
