How to Get Medium Articles For Free?
Here are a few ways you can read Medium articles for free:
1. Use Incognito Mode
Medium allows a limited number of free articles per month. If you’ve hit the limit, try opening the article in an Incognito (Private) window on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
2. Use the Twitter Trick
Some Medium authors share full articles on Twitter. Try searching:site:medium.com "[article title]" Twitter
If the author has shared the article, you can read it for free.
3. Use Archive Websites
Sometimes, articles are saved in web archives. Try:
- archive.org (Wayback Machine)
- archive.is
Just paste the article URL to see if a copy is available.
4. Disable JavaScript
Medium’s paywall often relies on JavaScript. Disabling JavaScript in your browser may allow you to read the full article.
5. Sign Up for a Free Account
Medium offers 3 free articles per month to users who sign up. If you run out, try using a different email.
6. Look for Alternative Sources
Many Medium authors cross-post their articles on other platforms like personal blogs, LinkedIn, or Dev.to.
