You mean, immutable pages -- it seems the link was the same (unless the spammer did a 301), it's just that it was loaded with ads after it became popular. FWIW, this is a reason Facebook uses to advocate for its Instant Articles platform (and Google advocates for its AMP).

I'm finding tools such as the Internet Archive and archive.is (both of which preserve page formatting), or Instapaper, Pocket, or Outline.com (which don't) are useful in this regard.

There's also "reader mode" browser features.

Advertising must die.

What are these "ads" things you speak of? I seem to remember the term from back before I installed uBlock Origin but it's been so long...

You've apparently been downvoted, but you raise a good point - although not the immediately obvious one:

I've been seeing ads that get through uBlock Origin in the last few days. Just a couple, I haven't bothered investigating it.
