The page is actually a medium post which immediately pops up an annoying modal trying to get you to give them your personal information and phones home who knows what kind of analytics.

I'm not sure about the ethics of outline.com, but I can totally see why people are using it.

I'm not sure about the ethics of taking other people's content and putting it behind a paywall.

But it's Medium's content. You gave it away when you posted it here. In exchange, you got exposure[1]

As far as I know, Medium writers opt-in to this, in exchange for money if a paying user reads the article.
