I also don't have an account, so I got the same message as you. I wonder how Medium decides which stories are fenced with "create an account" page and which not, because most of the stories I can read normally.

They have dark UX patterns that makes the content creators mark a setting for doing this. Most of them are not aware it introduces an account-wall for their articles.

Maybe, a smart move would be to have a system that would look at how much traffic certain story has and then depending on the flow of traffic the 'create an account' wall turns on. Although, I doubt they have such a system, but it would make certain things easier.
