This is essentially Medium’s new monetization model, which for reasons which have been stated, I am not fond of it.
I pretty much never click on Medium links at this point. The platform is bloated to hell and the content is rarely interesting. Not worth my time.
You're saying that even though someone on HN has submitted it you still won't read it - that's an interesting thing to say.
If it's lunk to from HN I always consider it might be worth looking at, but random stuff on Medium - no.

HN is the place I find most Medium links. I've been disappointed with such regularity that it's very rare that I bother reading once I see the URL.
I'm a simple man.
I open an article link.
I see a signup popup.
I close tab.
I've been noticing a lot more posts from Medium.com on /r/javascript and /r/node. I would say most are junk content.
medium.com another site one can safely ignore.
Paywalled
Not paywalled, you just have to be registered as a contributor or as reader. No payment involved.
For me its paywalled : https://ibb.co/mCUCGR
Unless you already looked at 3 such posts this month. Paywall. (circumventable through Google Cache if you can be bothered)

I get it, that people want to be paid for their writing. But I'm awash with stuff to read, and if there are hoops to just through then I just won't.
That's a choice for writers to make, and I appreciate that. They might also just decide that if someone isn't going to jump through the hoops then they aren't really welcome as readers. Not every reader brings value to a writer.
It's a choice, and I'm taking the time here to offer data that I'm a reader who won't, in fact, be reading this. I offer this comment in the spirit of trying to provide some value to the writer, and to writers in general.
