Am I the only one who finds it frustrating how sites seem to be prioritizing mobile users over PC users?
I tried looking at the reviews for a monitor, and when I clicked "see more reviews" I got redirected to a page asking me to login and to provide my mobile phone number (which I didn't do for privacy reasons).
On Instagram I was confused at everyone else mentioning Instagram stories because I only have the option of uploading pictures and videos. Then I found out that it's something you can only do if you use Instagram on a phone... I swear I've came across a few sites that wouldn't even let you sign up if you were using a PC
I only ever browse social media on a PC and that's the way it will always be. Sometimes I can't help but feel like desktop/computer users are becoming an afterthought. Anyone else have similar feelings? š«
there is NO social media that's worth getting frustrated over
the first time a site does something stupid ("enter your ph # to continue!" or "disable your adblocker to continue!") i'm out and never going back. the internet exists to provide me with things, not the other way around
There's almost never only a single option to offer me what I'm after, so I'll just go back to my search results or whatever and pick the next link and move on.
There's no way in hell I'm giving some jackasses my phone number, though. I don't even like giving people who really actually need to be able to call me my number, so why would I give some sketchy-ass website it?
