It's true Twitter has a similar experience as a guest, as does Facebook. I would disagree on Dev.to, though. Viewing an article as a guest on Dev.to is quite pleasant. The article loads fast and there's no obstructing of text with "Sign Up to view more" pop up modals, etc.
That said, I think I will sign up for Medium and have a look around and see if it's a better experience. I'll try crossposting to there as well.
I believe the "you have x more views available today" on medium is specifically for their paid content, meaning the content writer has opted-into this barrier.
Regular articles (most of the content) should not prompt users like this.
