The idea is that people read it to the bottom, then by default it is auto-unpinned. I don’t see a huge problem with the status quo at the moment, though I agree **it sucks to be anon in this case**.

We could hold an anon cookie to clear the pinned topics later but that feels like a complex change?

It also seems you have beef with the **categories page** – where excerpts are expanded by default on mobile which I agree is weird – but what is shown above is **100% latest page**.
