Make Medium Readable Again

Better idea: make the internet readable again.

Perhaps using a combination of AI/ML and collaborative raw-text extraction.

You mean Safari's (and presumably any other browser) Reader Mode?

That's what I use on firefox. Works great most of the time.

Thanks, just tried it, but it seems to remove all images, also the relevant ones :(

It depends how they’re added to the site. In-line images on Ars Technica appear fine.

Yes, and that's exactly why it probably needs some AI/ML or some collaborative user input ;)

Medium inserts the images as you scroll; they don't show up if you extract the text before scrolling down.

The internet was readable before AI/ML. I don’t think bikeshedding should be that complicated.

View->Page Style->No Style usually works for me. Obviously pages become a lot more bland and...style-less, but the text and images I'm usually after will still be there.

(I should have added that the relevant images should be retained)
