Medium Member-Only Post Remover Extension

Discover a more inclusive and fair Medium experience, where free content shines.

The Challenge with Medium:
Medium is a treasure trove of knowledge and insights, offering stories that inform, inspire, and provoke thought. However, the platform's increasing emphasis on promoting \"Member-only\" paid articles poses a challenge. This approach not only prioritizes paid content over freely available articles but also inadvertently marginalizes readers from third-world countries, the financially disadvantaged, and those simply seeking open access to information. The result? A diminished visibility for free posts, creating an unfair landscape for both readers and writers of free content.

By seamlessly removing \"Member-only\" articles from your feed, this tool ensures that free, accessible content gets the spotlight it deserves.

There's nothing to configure—just a cleaner, fairer Medium at your fingertips.

Join Our Cause:
If you believe in an open and equitable internet—where access to information isn't dictated by financial barriers—Medium Member-Only Post Remover is for you. Support our mission to make free content more visible and available to everyone, regardless of their background or financial status.
