It looks as though they specifically disabled the comments for this article (or moved the thread to an subforum which isn't visible to the public).

Notably, even if Phoronix disabled the comments, they have not administered any consequences to the main offender

They disabled the entire comment thread, even if you're logged in:

Sorry, you are not authorized to view this page. For assistance contact the site administrator.

Here's one of the pages I still had open: https://0x0.st/81X4.png

i am still able to see it; perhaps you're not a paying subscriber, which i (regrettably) am.

edit: yes you do need a phoronix premium or have been a forum member for 3+ years to view the thread.

Can you upload screenshots for archival purposes? Thanks

Unfortunately I have just cancelled my subscription, which has terminated my membership immediately. I don't want to reread the atrocious waste (or expose them to others) anyway.

Sounds like a good opportunity to save yourself some money.

Why?

Paying money that seemingly goes entirely to supporting a comments section dominated by trolls seems like a bad idea to me. YMMV I guess.

I do not get it. Money pays the creator of the website. That he does not have resources nor the desire to moderate the comments is a small detail.

I find nothing offensive in the comments I do not read, BTW.

Not sure about the forum member part, I've been onboard since 2019 and it shows the same error message on my end

Wow, it was really bad.

If you find this shocking, you're in a quite fortunate bubble.

I doubt it, some of the commenters there have been terrible for years.
