What a juxtaposition between an "edgy" headline ("felt like I was buying drugs") and one of the most mundane opening sentences in journalism I've ever read ("James Liska finally spotted a reasonably priced computer-graphics card online. By the time he clicked “buy,” it was gone.").

- Unkechaug 9y agoThe entire industry is going down that path because it's the best way to make money. The WSJ has been doing this for a few years now.
