still always get so irrationally angry when a website changes their layout to be more “mobile friendly” in a way that literally makes everything more convoluted, obnoxious to navigate (overly simplified, everything turns into small bubble icons or is hidden away in tiny menus that only make sense for phone use, options that used to be there are now gone so they don’t take up space, etc. etc.).. like.. didn’t it used to be a thing to have BOTH a desktop and a mobile version of a site??? WHY must you merge everything???? if I wanted to view this website on a phone I WOULD BE VIEWING IT ON A PHONE, wouldn’t I??? perhaps there are.... REASONS people prefer desktop browsing.. (text processing, etc.).. pERHAPS this makes everything WORSE actually ..

#like i don't know anything about webstie development but for massive corporations SURELY you can afford to maintain both a desktop and mobil #e version of a website #i hate phones i hate everything mobing towards phones i hATE how websites get ruined and so much more difficult #for me to use and get features taken away tht are actually USEFUL or etc.#this is just a larger part of the oversimplification and homogenization of all online spaces but hujnjejkjkgjrjkbjhtbjhthbjthjbkhthbtjhthhth #maim and kill and fury #which is ALSO such a huge pet peeve of mine and doesn't even make any sense!!!!#like even from a money making capitalist perspective like.... don't you think maybe some people navigated towards your #product because of whatever unique thing you were doing in the first place?? taking away all your features #and making your wbesite look exactly like every other website and copying every thing every other remotely successful website #is doing is like.... how is that going to help you ???#who is even the target audience you think WANTS these changes??#like market wise - if I have 5 utterly identical shirts to choose from then why would I care which one I get? they're all the same and if #you don't stand out there's no reason for me to buy your product over someone elses. wouldn't you.. WANT.. a unique selling point??#which I'm not even TALKING about that right now ggbhtg I'm just trying to put in a new grocery order #i just want.. to order some bread... go to a store and pick it up.. please #why is my cart now hidden in a tiny icon menu at the top and then i click that and then have to click ANOTHER drop down menu just to #see the full contents because god forbid you have information ACTUALLY laid out neatly in front of the user instead #of stashed away .. which again - MAKES SENSE if you're on a phone with limited screen space but IM NOT #IM USING DESKTOP BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THE DETAILS AND THE INFORMATION #I WANT THE ACCESS TO THE FULL DETAILS AND THE INFORMATION I WANT THE MORE ''COMPLICATED'' LAYOUT #WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND .. do you think people just use desktop computers because they don't #have a cell phone or something and are just so sad and desperate to get the mobile phone experience #'oh thank GOD everything on my desktop computer is now tiny and looks like shit and has the worst most unsuitable for this format #tyep layout imaginable! yes! it's not like this was the reason I avoid using phones for this stuff in the first place - i am so glad #to finally have it seem like I'm using a phone but on my actual computer! <3'#go to complete hell
