Many articles are actually links to Medium which requires us to pay before reading. Cross posting is fine but not paid content. Even if someone posts video, some highlights of video should be written in the post.

It’s not easy to see video while traveling, I can’t put headsets all the time it’s bad for ears, and cant see video with speaker volume as it disturbs other people around when in company.

You can always read without disturbing others and without using headsets.

May be dev.to should create some settings to filter link only and video only posts.

I totally agree, I honestly moved from medium to here because of the paywalls. Imagine StackOverflow adding paywalls?
