True words. Maybe only tangentially related, but I'm also a big hater of how everything these days seems to be designed for touchscreen devices. There are large blobs for buttons, shit called 'hamburger menu' (it was made for mobile devices where you have to make every fraction of an inch count... Not large desktop screens with a very high precision pointing device), JavaScript everywhere. I get that a considerable % of people use touchscreen devices on the internet, but when I actually visit most websites like this they ask to download their crappy app so what's the point anyway.

Here is a link I found explaining these things much better than I ever could.

JavaScript everywhere

This shit is so annoying. Twitter, a website that loads posts with (at most) 280 characters, takes a good few seconds to load. All while spiking CPU usage. Same for youtube comments.

Another reason I'm glad saidit doesn't have ads, it cuts the pageload times in half
