    Medium.com articles are now mostly behind paywalls and I tried loading the URL via the web.archive.org but it keeps being redirected and impossible to view. I wonder if this was a cleverly hidden way to obsolete the archiving of such web pages by Medium.

    No, it just loads indefinitely. You can access it with scribe.rip and then archive. Medium.com involves JS to load article, probably to make paywall work.
