Medium gave 3 “keys” to unlock member-only content. Did you get them too? I had no idea about the offer, so my first key was wasted on a story I wasn’t really interested in. (Wasn’t asked whether I wanted to apply the key; it just did.)
The second and third keys were used after clicking two writers I’ve followed frequently. I didn’t notice they’d padlocked their stories. They never had before. Was surprised my freebies were gone so quick.
When I clicked on a story by a third writer apparently committed to writing exclusively for members now, I got “sorry, friend — you’ve read all your free exclusive content…” The message has since dropped the friend quip.
