Hi Dan, yes, I can confirm that the current Friend Link feature is not being removed for members. Really, that's more of a feature for writers than members - Friend Links are a tool for writers to guarantee that friends, family, and fans have free access to their stories. That will not change! For Friends of Medium, Friends will be able to share Friend Links for any paywalled story, not just their own stories.
