Thanks for the extra link!
Does the WaPo link have a paywall or some other popup screen-nag?
My adblock blocks most nags, so I usually don’t see them.
If I run into a story behind a paywall or with a lot of annoying popups, I paste the address into outline.com so the story can be “read in peace”. For example for the WaPo, you get this:
https://outline.com/dvCcRC
Though sometimes outline.com also strips out some images from a story along with the ads,nags and paywall.
It does have a paywall. They sometimes have good content, but I just always try to find an alternate reference when sharing. When I saw your post, I had just seen the S&S post on social media and it was the same. So I shared.
When I use them for reference and want to read the article, you can quickly hit Ctrl-A and copy the text before the paywall slams down.
I’ve saved many articles by pasting them that way into an editor.
