Incognito mode works for me.

Yea but that cant be the real solution.
Its the only solution for 2020 web. Plus, of course, vpn and adblocker.
The only solution? So... in 2020 the only place to publish long-form content is Medium?

Well... TIL.

no but some content is on medium, so it's helpful to know
If you're using an adblocker, might as well add a paywall blocker to the mix: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
You can just block cookies from medium.com and everything keeps working.
It doesnt work for everyone, I always use firefox auto-mulitcontainers where each tab has its own container with no history and cookies and I still get blocked by medium
Often when using incognito doesn't work for "limited free articles" paywalls it is because you haven't restarted your browser in a while and have had incognito windows open for a time too. Session cookies happily persist in incognito windows while you have them open and are shared between such windows.
