- Futurebot 11y agoThe WSJ and Forbes ones were too short (Forbes one was OK, quality-wise, but too ad-laden.) This was the best of the bunch, and if it describes a real phenomenon (the multiple articles convinced me it did) then it's worth sharing, even if it's a bit pitchy. Edit: I was under the impression the NYT flags its sponsored content in any case.
