    That wasn't what Troy Hunt was saying in It’s 2016 already, how are websites still screwing up these user experiences?! though. He was objecting to the practice sites have of deliberately splitting articles across multiple pages when they would easily fit on one page. Slate is a bugger for this, as is Harper's - that's why, if I post something from such sources, I always try to find the way to bypass it, such as ?single=1 in https://harpers.org/archive/1956/03/subways-are-for-sleeping/?single=1 and .single before .html in http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/07/roko_s_basilisk_the_most_terrifying_thought_experi ment_of_all_time.single.html.

    The only reason they do this is to increase ad impressions. It's annoying, particularly with a short piece where the second page contains only a two-sentence paragraph

      For a long time now the comments in The Telegraph were better than the articles. Now it appears that all comments have been removed. What with that and the new format I'll avoid for now.

      I use Breitbart and The Guardian for news these days. I've boycotted the BBC in its entirety.

      I don't agree with The Guardian's politics but some of their in-depth articles are good and they generally allow comments.

        BBC is dumbed down "flabby Liberalism". Meh.
        Torygraph is now ruined.
        DailyFail is...
        Guardian is mostly about how great immigration is and how Climate Change is everything. Double meh.

        Based on that, I don't look at any "newspapers" in the UK.

          Based on that, I'd expect you to read the Sun.

          I do,........ the page 3.
