I dislike these magazine articles posted online that are some 8 pages long and the entire first page is simply the hook, no real info. Sorry, I am not going to read you, espeically if I came to you not for a feature story, but for a piece of specific news info, e.g. "how stuxnet was deciphered."

Am I the only one who feels this way?

edit: not sure why opinion = downvoted.



Because it's lazy tldr; thinking. It's an extremely well-written article and there's a easily found view-as-one-page button at the bottom.


Dude you are a writer for Wired.com. I'm not surprised that you would bristle at my criticism.


You should look in to Instapaper if you find multi-paged articles distracting. There are other alternatives as well such as using the print page to see all of the text on one page.


multipage articles are annoying due to the multipage. usually there's a print option.

but don't think tl;dr.


next time try this http://www.readability.com/articles/1fyqqx1d

or instapaper. the design sucks indeed, suites paper format, not web.


I just finished reading the article via Instapaper on my Kindle. It's much nicer this way (sans photos).
