Tell HN: Substack obfuscating text to break reading mode

1 points by xnx ↗ HN
I enabled Chrome reading mode for an article (https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/will-crypto-crash-the-blue-wave fwiw) on Substack and was confronted with an unspaced mess of text. Inspecting the original page revealed source like :<span>Will</span><span> </span><span>crypto</span><span> </span><span>crash</span><span> </span><span>the</span><span> </span>

Firefox reading mode works without issues for me on that page. But can confirm I see the same thing in Chrome.
Firefox/Zen is best
ah damn, this bug came from the text color handling we added when you copy paste from google docs into substack. will be fixed in tomorrow mornings deploy
