As a budding blogger on Medium, I've quickly realized that access to premium content is essential for improving my writing and staying informed. However, the cost of a Medium membership can be prohibitively expensive, especially for those of us in India, where paying βΉ4000 to βΉ12000 annually for a subscription might not be feasible for everyone. πΈπ’
To help you access Medium's premium articles without a subscription, I've devised a simple solution using a JavaScript bookmarklet. This method is straightforward and works in most browsers, including Chrome and Firefox. ππ‘
This guide is for educational purposes only. Bypassing paywalls may violate Medium's terms of service, and it's always best to support content creators by subscribing if you can afford it. πβ€οΈ
- A web browser (Chrome or Firefox) π₯οΈ

} else {
alert("Please make sure you're on a medium.com post/article.");
}
})();
