You've posted an article at a paywalled website. It appears to also be paywalled at archive.org. If you don't want to get downvoted, provide some way to read the article for those of us who don't subscribe to the atlantic.

It isn't paywalled for me but it's a 3 year old article complaining "we" can't have good sunscreen where "we" are Americans only so I stopped reading.

FYI - The Atlantic’s RSS feed provides the full text of their articles. Dunno if they know that? Guessing not so, 🤫

Librewolf +Noscript + uBlock Origin showed the whole text of the article on first click. I didn't even have to use reader mode (which is another option around many paywalls. I don't expect everyone to go to this amount of effort, but wanted to pass the info on for those that would want to.

And what is the Best Sunscreen in the World, OP? I get a single mention on a brand name before the article tastefully fades to black. Is there an ad in there, or is there something dystopian?
