This Site is Bypassing Medium.com’s Paywall

And Yes, You Should Care !

Made by Author with DALL·E 3

There are various methods to bypass a website’s paywall, from using Google Chrome extensions to employing a VPN.

However, I had never come across a site explicitly designed to bypass medium.com’s paywall.

The website in question is: https://freedium.cfd/

While I may not be a prolific writer with a vast audience, I firmly believe that this site needs to be halted.

It essentially deprives hardworking writers of their rightful earnings.

All one has to do to access a Medium article behind the paywall is paste the link, and voilà, the paywall disappears.

I can’t fathom how the site’s technology functions, but it does.

Perhaps someone from the Medium team might investigate this issue.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Should such a site be allowed to continue ?
