I think you’re just confirming what you already believed. While some people had issues rendering or scrolling the website they acknowledged those issues as did you yourself. So they, at least, tried to read the article, which for the purpose of drawing conclusions should count as people who read the article. Also, the article rendered and scrolled fine for me. The website is a huge PITA with an absurd cookie permission form and tons of popup advertisements but I didn’t have a problem accessing it. You’re assuming the commenters who didn’t mention problems had problems but there isn’t a reason to believe it was unreadable for everyone. I read it but didn’t comment. How many others did this? We don’t have that data. I don’t comment as much as I use to, but I probably comment above the median (which might be 0) and I read more articles than I comment on. When I have commented without reading the article, it’s because I’m not commenting on the article. Although I read this article, what you and I are talking about has nothing to do with this article and I don’t see why it should matter to anyone whether or not we read it when we’re not actually discussing it.
