Read Unlimited Medium Articles For Free With This Hidden Trick!

Sorry Medium…you’re not gonna like this one…

I don’t know how long this trick will last but I’m sure once this article is out, Medium will probably find a way to fix it soon.

If you are a paying member of Medium already, you may already be contemplating cancelling your subscription.

BUT DON’T!

Firstly, you have to understand it is because of your help that writers like me can provide you with great written content and engaging ideas every day! On top of that, if you are a frequent reader on Medium, there is simply no point in using this trick to read every article because even if you manage to save $5 a month, the time and effort it takes are just not worth the hassle!

Anyways, for all those non-paying Medium members out there who need to read that one off how-to article they come across while browsing around, but have already exhausted the 3 free stories per month that Medium gives everyone, here’s what you need to do:

1. Navigate to the article and copy its URL/web address.

2. Open a new incognito tab on chrome.

3. Paste the URL/web address into the search bar and enjoy!

Simple, huh?

That was exactly what I thought when I found out about this!

However, there are some things that Medium can do to solve this issue and prevent people from abusing this trick.

One way of countering this little hack is to get everyone to log in or sign-up to Medium before they can use the free trial to read that story/article.

This is how the New York Times does things and even though it is annoying for new readers, it can prevent both Medium and its hardworking writers from losing out on potentially millions of dollars per year!

Another way of dealing with it is to track users’ IP addresses and if there are too many server requests to access articles from the same IP, Medium can then choose to either block it temporarily or display a paywall message to that specific user to prevent further access.

Although this way is more invasive, it does have the advantage of allowing new users to read the first 3 articles from Medium without having to sign up for it.

Anyways, now that you know about this little trick, please try and use it responsibly for the time being and I hope it’ll help you get to the information you need!
