The Luddite articles aren't readerable

[cmkm]

Original report on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1893849

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://theluddite.org/#!post/google-ads

Actual results:

No Reader Mode.

Expected results:

Reader Mode should work, since this is an article.

this site fails because the article content is replaced by a script at load time:

var state = state || {};
...
function locationHasChanged(){
var newPage = window.location.hash.substring(1);
newPage = newPage.split('?')[0];  //removes query string
newPage = newPage.split('/')[0]; // only care about top level URL here
if (!newPage){
  newPage = "home"
}
else {
  newPage = newPage.slice(1,) // remove "!"
}
state.page = newPage;
renderPage(newPage);

...

function renderPage(page){
$('#body').html(ejs.render(
  state.templates[page],
  {'state': state},
));
}

<div id="body">
    It seems your Javascript is turned off. Maybe you'd prefer the <a target="_blank" href="/feed.rss">RSS</a> feed?
</div>

not sure there's anything that can be done for sites built this way.

bit of a personal note: reading this site's source took me on a nostalgia trip to the mid/late 2000s. good times.
