An entire article that doesn't even mention Magnus Carlsen. Waste of internet bandwidth.

Sign of the times, I'm sad to say. The Internet is just chock full of them these days. It's gotten to the point where most of the articles on the NYTimes frontpage don't even mention him.
This is an outrage. I suggest we create a browser extension that completely omits any webpages that don't mention Magnus somewhere. No more wasted bandwidth, creates an incentive for sites to not have non-Manugs-containing pages. Anyone interested in joining my cause?
If Magnus concluded every match with a rowing/dancing motion, it would be different.
Because it’s about sports, not games.
