You are right. I didn't know those type of sites exist. But they are just different domains, technically speaking.

To recap:
// @match *://*.medium.com/* Is enough for matching sub-domains.
// @match *://*/* Is needed for matching any possible domain who happens to be a Medium website.

freedium is offline so unfortunately this script doesn't work anymore for now

All works as expected. Yeah, we made some codebase refactor, to improve speed and some big bug fixes. And there were some minor downtimes.
