Where in game advertising felt real and sensible. Yet was low key

Once sf.net became a super obnoxious piece with shady ads. It was an incredibly fast exodus.
It's amazing how tight people budgets are they simply can't absorb a relatively small increase

Same thing ui designers. Thats why I resize all the fonts on the page. The probably negates all the UI designers attempts to make the audience go blind

I highly recommend getting 4k gear and just rescale to 2.0

Everything looks gorgeous and it's easy on the eyes

He was a total prick and engaged in blatantly illegal practice to get his billions

Just because he has whitewashed his bio doesn't mean he is a good guy

Then they should remove the massive amount of interuptions by ads
They should pick one: pay for it, OR fill the page with 50 shitty ads

You shouldn't have to deal with both

Re:Ask HN: Why are fonts on websites so small? on Sunday February 27, 2022 @01:16AM (#30485864)

You never ever have to have the ianal disclaimer on the internet

Without aggressively blocking the hundred or more ads on a webpage, I honestly don't think the web would be that useful now a days

Advertising has gone absolutely bonkers and filled the web with complete trash SEO farms with 40 links to some shitty slideshow

I don't believe the web would have caught on like it did if this current condition was v1.0

I wonder how much the website designer even views their own site. It's astounding anyone would approve of this. It now represents the brand as extremely low quality

Hyundai makes cars that are insanely easy to steal. I'm surprised Congress hasn't had a word or two
