Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites

I’ll say one thing for the No CSS philosophy - at least it eliminates light-colored text on a light-colored background using the thinnest possible font, which is probably the stupidest stylistic trend since the web began.

I remember the wonderful feeling when Discord had a redesign in like 2017 or 2018 where they undid that awful gray-on-white design trend and made the text actually have contrast. These days the annoying trendy design thing is articles/blogs with extremely narrow width.

no i do not want to read paragraphs that are this wide. this is making it way more annoying to read. please stop doing this.

at least Firefox has Reader Mode.

  I’m annoyed by that too, and I think the reason is so they can cram more ads in it. I had to turn of my adblock for a second and forgot to turn it back on while going to a news site and I swear to God 2/3rd of the page was ads. Turned it back on and those spaces were empty making only 1/3rd of the page used. Still way better tho I’m never turning it off again.

    No kidding on the ads. I shared this experience not long ago.

    And the tragic thing is there was another news site that I did the same thing with afterwards, and it was literally 2.5x worse than what I documented with The Nation.

In the future there will be media queries for how old the reader is.

  Will teenagers with shitty vision be able to lie about their age or will there be verification?
