is your issue with the title or the content?


Both. The title is clickbait, the content is cheap garbage under a paywall. It also has nothing to do with hacker news.


there is no content, there is paywall

I'd link to Bypass Paywall Clean extension, but it seems that's been taken down by GitLab[0] in the past few days. Anyway, you can use archive.is to bypass such paywalls[1].
