Actually I don't even read the articles anymore when on mobile. I just use HN, and hope somebody posts a TL;DR, or some relevant comment that gives some more information about the article. Only if this is not the case will I consider clicking on the article link. It's pretty sad actually.

I secretly wish there was some way that allows us (as a community) to collaboratively "pirate" articles, perhaps as a torrent (IPFS perhaps), so we only have to download the ascii text.
