That made me very frustrated! Here's the proper article, with actual pictures: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/2000-artifacts-pul...
Cant read this article, Medium shows me to signup for an account.

Incognito gets you around this. I know it's beside the point. However incognito is the laziest of bypasses to a subscription-wall which tells me Medium aren't really behind it as a strategy anyway.
to reiterate what you said, since others are trying to be helpful and giving other workarounds: this is besides the point. for such a simple task as publishing static text, we've got what, yet another $7.99 (or whatever), a month fee? yes, medium provides some benefit to both authors and readers, and some may find it worth it, others won't. But it's static text. www.pacbell.net/~username, or Geocities may not have be…

Dudes, I'm not sure how to tell you this but if you want quality content without advertising, then spending money will be required at some point. Edit: I'm rate-limited so I can't answer below. Medium pays authors through the Partner Program which is a Flattr-like interaction-based model.
Does Medium pay the authors?
Are there any good sci-fi novels about global warming thawing out some ancient alien artifacts?

The real problem is that websites can still even tell whether or not you're in incognito mode.
Ötzi[2] was discovered almost 40 years ago, before the accelerated warming due to current climate changes we are concerned about. He was likely uncovered by the inexorable melting of the glaciers that started during the current interglacial epoch, known as the Holocene, and which continues today. This melting explains the small, but constant sea level rise that has been going on for centuries. [3]
During the last glacial maximum, the Laurentide ice sheet covered millions of square kilometers including the area that is currently Canada and northern United States. This ice sheet was up to 4000 meters thick, carved out the Great Lakes, and covered most of North America until 20,000 years ago. [4]
