Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.
Yay internet.
Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.
I think all the people who are recommending things like Firefox plus uBlock are missing the point. Mobile internet shouldn’t require that to be readable. It’s bad design and it should be discouraged. If you want advertising on your site, fine, but don’t make it so obtrusive that it makes the site literally unreadable.
You’re right, but we can’t realistically affect web designers directly. We can only control our devices, so we should focus our energy there first.
To be fair, it’s not the web developers doing this… It’s the people they work for.
We know… they don’t care. They don’t give a shit if you can read their site, as long as they can trick you into clicking an ad.
