Can you NOT link to mobile version? Mobile phones switch to mobile automatically, desktop version does not.

The mobile version is very readable on a desktop browser, and it's probably easier for you to edit the URL on your PC than for the poster to edit it using their phone.

Why not just be a bro or cool girl and do the thing you wish others would do? I'm always so grateful when others post links through paywalls, so:
