Wassup with paywalls on medium these days? Lately, most articles are behind paywall for me. I though blogs were for free exchange of information!

How is it that this is literally the cycle. The product is great while they’re still in the ramp up phase, and then a few years later it becomes utter garbage, filled with ads.

Disable JavaScript on medium. Look for my HN comments containing "progressive degradation".
