Yeah, agreed, this trend has got to go. Unusable. I immediately closed the tab. When not even reader mode helps, you've lost me.

So I see your link, and I raise you this link to just a normal JPG:

Thanks! I can understand why they feel the need to present the map with extensive commentary immediately alongside. The writing is almost impossible to read, and the drawings are difficult to interpret by a layman without help. But it's baffling that they don't even include a link to a bare image.

I didn't even open the BBC article in the first place but only the HN discussion. The bbc.com domain has joined my list of websites that are not worth visiting. Basically junk.
