I was tired of seeing pop-ups back in the 90s. And we lived in a pop-up free world for a while. But now every single company website has tons of them. "Accept cookies," "join our newsletter," "chat now," "here's a discount" etc. I can't stand this shit

It was so much easier when all that shit was Flash-based. You could just turn off Flash and shit would've worked still, because websites were designed with fallbacks without Flash.

If it's a site you otherwise don't care about, disable Java and those go away.
 
i hate how onlyfans and sites like them have ruined free amateur porn. now im not saying you should look at porn, but i remember back in the day women would freely post tons of explicit pics and videos of themselves for free, now most of them have a 10 -15 dollar onlyfans where they post a few pics but then want you to pay per view their videos. god i hate only fans.
 
Youtube shorts is... There doesn't seem to be a way to see how long a video is("It's short!") or go back if you missed something. Letting it loop seems to be the only option. Maybe it works better on the phone app but I'm not going to try that.

Speaking of sites obviously made for mobile, one trend I notice slowly picking up is how AWFUL using the desktop version of a site is compared to mobile. One bank I use is exactly that. The desktop version is broken with constant errors, and LOVES to log out randomly. A huge pain to navigate or anything banking related, since the design is so awful. Meanwhile, the mobile version is the exact opposite. I seriously hope this isn't the future for the web.

A lot of mobile sites suck on mobile too and I don't see this trend reversing.
 
I know I've already complained about comment censoring on Youtube before, but looking back on the days where I can openly say nigger and faggot and call someone retarded for what they posted without that gayass disclaimer telling me to "be nice and civil" will be moments I will greatly cherish.

I don't like how Twitter made it so if one scrolls far enough down, it blocks the view with a popup effectively saying you have to sign up to see more. That's paysite BS.

(I don't want to hop on the "social media" bandwagon.)

On actual twitter, click "log-in" then press the X to close that window and you're fine.
 
Do ads show up in YT videos playing through other sites if one doesn't have an adblocker?

What are typical American-targeted YT ads like anyway?

I imagine they feel "wokey" like Target ads. Like no white men unless they're portrayed as idiots, almost no white people at all...
