   @mattly a friend linked this to me, this afternoon, saying "desktop, not mobile", and I looked at that the same time as I read your post and did a double-take

     @draNgNon @mattly waaaa :blobPikaNauseous:

     For once, the desktop is the worse at scrolling instead of the phone but the dev making this LITERALLY didn't even test it. It impossible to even read the text on desktop

     What's your take on the page showing exemples of site "in the wilds" even when it makes the reading harder ?
     Ex : Verge article that's visually on point, but to the point of incomfort when reading it

     I read the verge article and to me it was a bit inverted. not everyone does that and generally the people who follow all those steps are linked at the bottom of everything else as clickbait. so it's not really all that perfect a web page. it did make me think that's how so many clickbait sites have wended their way into google news.

     that reminds me it does tie in with a rule I have: never to click on anything with "this" in the page/article title.
