Are you sure you're paying attention? Those items fall way down the list of problems people will typically raise with regards to Medium.

As others have said we're simply tired of being nagged and made to feel like cash cows, and this is doing serious harm to your brand.

Want to repair some of that damage right now? Stop prompting me to sign in when I try to read a Medium page.

Are we still prompting you to sign in? I don't think we've done that for a long time. There's a metered paywall but there isn't a regwall on anything that you wouldn't expect (i.e. comments).

still get "Read the rest of this story with a free account." after 5ish articles. Rather than signin i just switch to incognito.

Thank you. I think that's still a form of metered paywall as in it's a regwall as an option to get another article.
