modern website sucks

discovering new website is my hobby, instead of scrolling on media social. i enjoy finding a new inspiration, whether it’s in layout, information, and many more. but, honestly, many of website i discover end up dissapointing me.

i think we all know about this one. ads have become a serious problem. imagine trying to read something while an ad blocks part of the content and it completely ruins the experience.

i understand why website owners use ads. but, please, try to put yourself in the visitor’s views. i’m sure you would agree with my frustation.

i countered this while reading on medium.com. i had to login just to continue reading an article that was blocked for anonymous user. seriously?

autoplay

sometimes i use potato device, so any kind of media playback affects my device perfomance. autoplay should be disabled. not people has a great device.

javascript

I have no words for JavaScript. Some website owners or developers harm users through unnecessary or poorly implemented scripts. Besides that, JavaScript can raise serious security warnings.

I usually disable JavaScript when it’s not needed.

high media

Sometimes I browse using mobile data. When a website is full of high-resolution media, it drains my data quickly. I really hate that, so I often end up blocking images (and JavaScript) to save bandwidth.
