An interesting read is an interesting read, there are occasionally nuggets of gold even on the most poorly designed slideshow ad trap. I like to imagine that the "inverted pyramid" technique frontloads the best stuff on the landing page and this discussion page (a man can dream, can't he?).

Etiquette might suggest a heads up in the submitted title (paywall, slideshow, obnoxious popover ad that breaks the article on mobile, &c). If the article is in fact paywalled then it's unlikely to rise far enough to get in many peoples' way.

Again, sorry for the shite submission.

Some people enjoyed it, I guess.
