On the flip side, how are you a mobile power user that doesn't use some sort of reader mode.
Edit: I regret this comment. I was an ass.

That's not the point, you lose the nuance of someone's site with reader mode. My site is as readable on mobile as it is on desktop, and that's important to me, because I want them to experience it as I designed it.
What is important is that the author is giving an opinion on mobile gaming, while showing very little regard to mobile readers with the site design, it changes the narrative of the article as a whole.

On iOS, on an iPhone 8 Plus, reader mode cuts off part of the text of the article.
I browse HN on mobile 95% of the time, most of the time I'll just back straight out of a site like that, but I was interested in his take on the mobile game grind fest.
I also don't play games on mobile except PoGo which is perfectly suited to the platform.
I spend plenty of money on mobile-non-games so it's not a blanket "I don't spend money on mobile".
