I wish we could stop complaints about Medium from showing up on every post from Medium. It's a distraction from the content, and off topic, and yet the complaint shows up with remarkable regularity.

The content which you can't read unless you have an account. Post it as a comment and I'll delete mine happily.

Alternatively add a cookie exception to block all cookies from medium. Works a treat.

I have a solution for both you and the gp who doesn't want medium posts . . . HN could stop doing medium posts. Win-win!

Maybe hn should have a dedicated "metacontent discussion" comment which collects all the discussion topics like this under a single collapseable top level thread. Whether it's about gdpr/cookies, paywalls, noscript behavior, twitter-thread rant, there can sometimes be more metacontent discussion than content discussion.

The paywall that prevents you from reading the content is a bigger distraction from the content.

Ok. I'm going to do it. The (m/M)edium is the message. It's relevant whether you're delivering your message on twitter or medium or god forbid facebook.
