On mobile if I try to copy a paragraph or two to my web browser clipboard it literally won't on this website.

I assume this is because of AI scraping or whatever but this has got to be the most insulting, condescending UI design I have encountered in a long time.

I distinctly remember people laughing at me about saying this would happen....

Ughhh.

Also yes I know there are probably a million ways to get around this but the point is this is just so fucking pointlessly stupid.

This is what it looks like on android.

I wanted to share your article with an interesting quote I picked to add a personal touch and thus encourage people to read the full article you assholes, but ok fine I will never go to this website again.....

Oh wait but I can feed ALL of the text into Google's AI slop machine just by swiping down because of course I can still do that, that makes sense.
