The first sentence of the article is a run-on, contains an inappropriate “and”, and omits a necessary word. I’m not convinced that Gizmodo should be judging anyone for being “terrible”.
Pro-tip: a "run-on sentence" is not one that contains multiple clauses that could be edited to be different sentences; it's one that is multiple sentences, strung together with no punctuation and no transition. A sentence is not a run-on sentence just because the reader lacks the attention span to read more than a line or two at a time.
Pedantry: that’s not a ‘Pro-tip”, that’s pedantry.
PSA: one man's pedantry is another man's pro-tip.
On the contrary they seem to be the experts at "terrible".
They don’t mean for the sentence to be hard to navigate, it just has to provide different levels of meaning to a wide variety of language consumers.
