View as Single Page

I know(?) that articles are many pages long for advertising purposes (and maybe to make you feel like you are reading a magazine?), but I would much prefer if all internet articles were on a single page (or at minimum if they ALL had the view as single page option). Clicking through a New Yorker article is something else (luckily they have the single page option).

As an aside, I have become obsessed with using parentheticals in my writing. Is this bad?
