You've got to love a website that makes text selection invisible by default.

I'd probably double check assumptions on the cloudfront issues. Switching carriers or adding VPN might connect you to a different edge node.

Some web assets being throttled for specific AT&T accounts seems a little too targeted to just be traffic shaping. I'd expect them to throttle traffic for all users, like they do with the speed tests.

First time seeing it being invisible, mostly they just disable it. Terribly annoying practice. I often select text while reading articles.


Same here!

I think it helps me read faster online, but it's probably just a fidget-y habit.


You guys are not alone, I do the same. It is indeed a fidgety habit, but also, I do it as it helps me see text more clearly due to my astigmatism.
