If the article was on one page this wouldn't be an issue.

  It's still an issue... I often wonder how far an article really goes. A lot of the times there are tons of content below the article, or perhaps just a long commenting thread twice as long as the article itself (or, as stated, a multiple page article (which you don't know about in advance)). I often scroll down for the sole purpose of finding out how long the article is. I really like the information the New Republic conveys (but I dislike having a bar on top like that).

  What is it with these sites that break down articles into several pages? NYTimes is a particular culprit that annoys me. Does anyone find an article easier to read in this format? I presume it is to force more Ad views on people?

    There's some research that, that people like content paged. Here's one such paper http://hfs.sagepub.com/content/25/3/279.short http://hfs.sagepub.com/content/25/3/279.short
