I see that's what this crowd is getting out of the article. Title literally mentions it's on track. And funds have been raised and being raised by the evil rich.

The title is a lie, and it becomes clear in the very first sentences:

the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it's on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034.

If it can get the necessary funds, that is.

That's a big if.
