"3 pages available to preview"
Man I hate Scribd. Why does anyone use it? No, I do not want to download your app to read a PDF, and I don't understand why CNBC published it through your service.

- bradleyjg 9y agoI don't get it either. CNBC has webservers and presumably some sort of in-house or external CDN. Why host on Scribd?

- linkregister 9y agoThere's probably a pay wall after a certain amount of page visits. The other users should clear that cookie.
