I'm going to be that guy and complain about the webpage's formatting. When I opened the page, a modal dialog was covering everything asking me to sign up for some newsletter. I closed it to get to the article, and I ended up with this: https://i.imgur.com/sV9hfOA.png https://i.imgur.com/sV9hfOA.png. The actual article makes up less than 4% of my screen. I've never seen a page this bad before. There's two different types of pop-ins from different directions I have to close before the article becomes readable. It's like playing whack-a-mole. Is anyone working on the site proud of that? Who looked at the site when it had just one of those pop-ins (and a modal) and made the decision that it needed another one? I don't want to be too ranty, I'm actually baffled.
