What is up with Medium requiring a google or facebook account to read posts now?

You appear to be able to bypass it by opening the page in incognito mode.

It does leave me more likely to skip content I find on medium - this particular blog has the type of content that would make it a rare exception.

They need to make money. I guess they gave up on advertising directly and instead want to capture our info alongside what we read on the website to build profiles they can sell to marketers.
