I agree, and I would like to know what the alternatives are, plus the pathways off Medium so that I can recommend them.
For non-tech writers: Bearblog or Neocities

For tech-inclined: Codeberg/GitLab/GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages

Thanks!
Curious why, paywall? Genuinely asking as I have a blog on there, guess it's lazy not to host it myself. It is funny when your mostly un-read blog suddenly is graced by medium and it out of nowhere gets thousands of hits.
because it is absolute garbage - I have uBlock Origin WITH a whitelist, and I STILL get a Google sign in popup, AND and half screen Medium popup
Let me show you the light

What filter lists do you have enabled? I don't get any popups or overlays on Medium with this set of lists:
