I sort of make an exception for that popup. I.e. I don't mind seeing it. It's the tax to get good free content.

Medium forcing you to log in is too much tho.

I don't at all mind a link on the page that directs me to a subscription or notification signup.

If I get a popup, I'm pretty likely to just close the page, especially if I'm on mobile where closing them is more trouble.
