Too long an article (about type!) to be in white monospace text on a black background.

I had to use a reader view extension to stand it ;-)

Safari Reader View doesn’t support the site, so I backed out. Too monospaced; didn’t read.

Hiding the scrollbar is the real crime here.

I would agree with you if we were all reading on E-Ink displays. As it is, I'm actually reading this on an LCD screen, which even at low backlight settings is far to bright (and loses contrast). White text on a black background is far more comfortable.

It's the border that hurts my visual cortex.

at this point, the obsession with white, or grey, text on black bg is just a mental illness.

explain?

Not OP, but white text on black (especially at 100% contrast) is harder to read than black text on white. Monospace is harder to read than natural-width text. Large passages of text with both features is fatiguing to read.
