In my experience, likelihood of spam content is correlated with number of ads or tracking cookies (the indicator number in ghostery). I expect posts with more than 5 tracking cookies/ads to be spam
(and yes, techcrunch rings in at 15, and almost all of their content is garbage)
in fact, Ghostery does block the article, for me anyway. Which is odd, one of the few times I've seen Ghostery have the effect of making a site unuseable/unreadable, and possibly the only time i've seen it on a blog.
For those who want to read the article despite using Ghostery, the tracker you want to allow through is "Adobe Digital Marketing (Omniture)". Or just add it to Pocket and read it there.
