Ideally, an un-paywalled version can be found. Even if one can't be found, it is still much better to post the source.

Can we make it a habit to post source links? I don't want to surf completely on vibes.

...Years ago, the web used to be a place where individuals made things. They made homepages, forums, and mailing lists, and a small bit of money with it. Then companies decided they could do things better. They created slick and feature-rich platforms and threw their doors open for anyone to join.
