At the beginning you forgot the Google data disclaimer, and the Google results ad.
Otherwise, I just go on Twitter, HN or Reddit to read an article and open it with a viewer like archive.is

#22Bravo thanks for this.
It's a slippery slope tragedy of the commons that small actors can do nothing about really.
If Google were to start rating on this basis, or some 3rd party were able to (and then get enough noise and traction) it might help.
But it rather seems like there are a bunch of things that need to be done, not just one, including the controversial 'cookie issue' which I don't believe actually resolves the intended issue and creates a 'mini headache'.

#23The content should be just the title repeated a few times, but phrased differently.
Actual content was above the fold, it's already better than many websites.

#24How did we get here? Does any and everything ultimately get absorbed by the marketing department?
Money.
The web was great until someone said "I love this, but how do we make money with it?"

#25This is what SEO has become. Free audience comes from Google as long as you make "free," targeted content. The authors are trying to extract every ounce of value they can from making that free content. I'm hesitant to suggest Google interfere even more with publishers' autonomy but they're the only ones who can incentivize them en masse to change how they collect information after the clickthrough.

#26Honestly the site is way too performant to be realistic. All those buttons worked nearly instantly. I'm assuming you're missing the awaited tracking networking calls.

#27Very bitter and to the point. I regularly wonder, do the people who want features like these installed — feedback form, "support chat" windows of various degrees of fakeness, subscription offer popups jumping in your face, and other absolutely baffling obstacles — really use their own web sites? Have they ever had to?
A website is a tool, a means to an end. The purpose of chat popups or feedback forms is to further a business goal, not to increase the website's usability.
