The article has sufficient content to stand on its own. I learned useful information and at the end they provide the $5 as a potential solution, but it's not even the author's recommended solution. If this article were just an ad, why not recommend only the tool?

What’s your problem? They recommended three different tools, one of which is free. I’ll gladly pay 5 bucks for a good product.

  They did recommend different tools, that's my bad for not noticing it. I do feel that it's a vert shallow read into the windows 11 task bar, and that it only really talks about the labels being gone, and icons being centered (which is configurable). The rest of the content is mostly hostory that has little to so with the actual subject. There's no mention of other regressions (people complaining about weather being gone, not being able to move taskbar away from the bottom of the screen, right click menu being basically empty), no discussion about how those were or were not fixed. No discussion about improvements to the old task bar (I don't know if any exist). The choice to focus solely on titles being gone, and on mentioning somewhat related history suggests that its a pretty rough write made for that 5$ fix, and suggests to me that the fix is incomplete and doesn't solve the rest of the problems. The fix may be good, it may solve other issues, I have no problem with paying for stuff. But I do feel like I've read just a shallow article written with that purpose in mind. To drop the paid tool at the end.
