It is so amazing that I can read articles like this for free

  I feel the same gratefulness. While I was reading I was thinking that whoever wrote this did a great job to make it understandable. Without their input I believe I would have never been told this story. I can't get enough of these mathematical stories proving/disproving conjectures. I think they show a more human part of mathematics, which I rarely got to see in my college courses.

    I hope Quanta continues when Simons dies. There's no way the mathematicians in this story could have written anything like this.
