I’m closer to senior citizen than middle age, and I need to Zoom down to 80% at least to not get a headache and attempt to read something.
There has to be a reason why this is the norm now, and I don’t think it’s because of decreasing vision.
This has taken the joy of internet surfing from me.
EDIT: I appreciate the help with how to fix it as well! But I mostly want to hear WHY.
In: Technology
1) massive increases in home networking speeds. Where before there was some attempt to make websites not push massive content due to poor network speeds, pages are now hundreds of megs and making hundreds of connections to download content, because;
2) developers are extremely lazy. Instead of a simple interface they download huge component packages to use one function that shows the date, but includes 49 mb of multi language packs, rendering components, and other garbage they don’t use, all to save twenty minutes of work, because;
3) website managers don’t give a crap about the customer at all, because;
4) 90% of the traffic is advertising dynamically rendering content all over which causes six page refreshes while you’re reading, advertising video downloading, google popups, popups for crap you don’t care about, and a hundred ad tracking cookies that somehow need 40 mb of script attachments to watch a video about a car you will never buy.
And that’s why you cannot get content sized so you can read it, because the content is just something to list it in google with SEO so you can watch advertising. You’re not meant to actually read it.
