Lovely how you can't read half the words in the subtitle, because it is white text against white background.

You're not kidding. They didn't even put a black border around the words. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet as well; wouldn't an editor or someone catch that?

They do have a border, it's just too subtle:

  .headline {
    text-shadow: 0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
  }

Wow yeah couldn't even tell at all.

If their editor uses a 3440x1440 screen it will look fine to them.

Maybe they assume that it's not worth reading anyways.

Aside, wonder how much real estate is reserved for ads. I see text only on the left half of the screen; right half being empty.
