These visually ableist articles need to be stopped. I have vision problems from an eye injury and I can't read the damn thing because the varying contrast between the pictures of every single sentences is very uncomfortable to read. Light-dark-light-black etc. If you turn off js or use a minimalist browser like netsurf you get the same long scrolling page without the pictures which defeats the articles purpose.
Tech and UX folks need to step back and realize that it's not just a silly design but a discriminatory one at that. Not everyone can enjoy literal flashy articles.

It's unfortunate that you cannot enjoy it to the fullest, but there is no reason to deny everyone else that experience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-essay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-essay
