They use Coinhive, but using it this way seems reasonable. Their strategy is to be open about it, to let users know their CPUs are being used to mine, with care not to drain mobile user's batteries. They only use it on long articles. I'd much rather encounter this than ads. It's much more convenient than a micropayment service, and doesn't preempt additional subscription income. I expect to see bespoke variations that don't trigger antivirus software. As long as mobile users' batteries aren't drained, and users' CPUs aren't overly stressed, it seems an ideal solution to monetize websites.
