> Link has a paywall

I'm not seeing a paywall in Firefox with NoScript or in Dillo (which has no JavaScript support).

Can confirm that Medium does not have any walls with Firefox+NoScript.

You two might not have used up your free stories. I'm seeing the following:

> You have 2 free stories left this month. Sign up and get an extra one for free.

Presumably, if I read 2 more stories on medium, I'll get a paywall, too. Unless I sign up, then I'd get a paywall after reading one more story.

I've definitely read more than two stories with NoScript enabled. I also block cookies, that may be whats doing it.

Edit: Just went to past submissions from medium.com, opened up about seven. No paywall showing.

I'll second "I think it's cookies, but can't authoritatively confim". (I use wget, which doesn't save cookies across processes unless explicitly told to.)

How's using wget for standard web browsing? I've thought about trying but haven't had motivation.
