    So much of the Verge is paywalled these days it’s completely understandable for someone not to bother clicking through.

      [I removed this link, but it linked to an archived of the article to avoid giving ad revenue to The Verge]

      It isn’t hard to access and read an article without giving ad revenue or what-not to the site owners.

          Okay, then use a different archive link. My point is, its not a monumentally impossible task to read at least to the 3rd sentence of the article, even if you don’t want to follow the direct link to avoid giving ad revenue to The Verge.

          Someone said that it wasnt out of laziness that someone wouldn’t have read the article, and my point is that it is out of laziness. It wasn’t even at the end of the article.
