Just a little feedback, there's a small problem with The Economist. It just includes "get our daily newsletter" thingy. Also cool project!

  Have you got a URL I can try? This one worked: https://txtify.it/www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21741563-fourth-our-series-professions-shortcomings-economists-focus-too https://txtify.it/www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economi...

    Here is it: https://txtify.it/https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21741547-regulators-should-squash-plans-big-telecoms-merger-america-t-mobile-and-sprint-plan https://txtify.it/https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/217... It also shows up in your example as well. Maybe you don't get bothered by it? :) Please note: the bug is inconsistent, it pops out inconsistently. Here's the part: "GET OUR DAILY NEWSLETTER Upgrade your inbox and get our Daily Dispatch and Editor's Picks."

      I thought you weren't getting the content text at all. :) Should be fixed now. We now strip that out: https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config/blob/master/economist.com.txt https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config/blob/master/e... But I don't consider that a big problem - lots of sites include things like that in their content. It's annoying, but no easy way to identify them all accurately and remove them without custom rules.

        Oh, it's certainly not a big problem, I just wanted to let you know :) liked the project by the way!
