Thank you.

Very frustrating to notice half-way through the article that the text is slowly getting more and more pale - I thought my vision was going for a couple minutes or so, then I saw the "SUBSCRIBE"

No thanks, archive.is to the rescue!

Same. I appreciated the irony.

If i open source a project, but throw the code to the bottom of the mariannas trench is it open source? The issue with newspapers is that i need to pay for all of them individualy, they need to make a service like spotify where you subscribe and then the funds are allocated to each company dependant on what articles youre reading.

Also effective: nuking the <head> section in dev tools.

The paywall is still present here, but at least the ridiculous faded text is gone. Missing the ending but I guess the headline spoiled that anyway.

Reader mode (Edge browser) on the original page fixes that

That's not clear. The last line I get there is:

> That didn’t make us fire-breathing conservatives. It made us human.

Which doesn't seem like a sensical ending for this piece.
