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.
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.
On the contrary they seem to be the experts at "terrible".
