Remove Medium Paywall

The intrusive "The writer made this a members-only story" message is annoying. This open-source project aims to address this issue by providing a solution to bypass all “Members-only story” paywalls for Medium articles. This repository contains a userscript designed to remove the annoying "The writer made this a members-only story". Follow the instructions below to get started.

Usage

1. Open any article on Medium that has a member content barrier ("Members-only story").
2. If the article has this barrier, right-click its button to display a custom context menu.

3. Select "Aplicar RMP a este artículo".
4. Once the page reloads, Remove Medium Paywall will automatically detect the content barrier and request its removal. If this does not work, then from the context menu select "Agregar dominio a RMP".
5. Repeat step 3.
6. Wait a few seconds while Remove Medium Paywall loads the full article content.
7. After a few seconds, the full article content should appear without the membership paywall.
8. Verify that the script worked correctly by checking if the article content is now fully visible and accessible.
9. If you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior, please create an issue in the original project repository.
10. Provide details about the problem found so it can be corrected quickly.
