Medium still requires an account to read after a few free articles a month and that's what's pissing most people off. Myself included. This has nothing to do with the monetization of the articles, it's just medium and their arbitrary limit.

So you read some articles, and apparently find them useful... except for that fact that Medium would like you to... create an account????

OMG! The horror of it all. ;)

I'm pretty sure, medium allows non-members to read a few Paywalled articles per month free, free articles are still free.

The thing with medium is I can write a tech post, and I may not get good reach, but I can syndicate it to another medium blog like the startup, and then it gets mega reach and I make like $100 easy.

I guess I could just repost my content on my personal blog and charge people like $10/month to access all my posts. Seems $5 though for a multi-publisher paywall is a lot more reasonable than say the wallstreet journal, or new york times.
