Logging in is actually really easy. It's by email and doesn't use a password. Also, Medium uses subscriptions rather than ads to fund itself. I would rather have a popup or two than a shitty ad-infested website.

Ease of login is irrelevant.

They built a closed ecosystem on the back of a fundamentally open form of content.
