I guess this is probably just going to be me venting a bit, and maybe looking for recommendations for alternative sources. But I'm finding it very annoying that all the articles that I'm reading are optimised for mobile viewing. It doesn't help that can I find looking down at a mobile screen literally painful. So use my desktop for ~99% of my internet access.
I was trying to read a couple of reviews for Montech cases. Like others, they start off quite well with the title and first picture being a reasonable width. But then you get into the meat of the content, and it's only taking up about a fifth of the width of my monitor. None of the picture have higher resolution version linked. Instead I'm having to open them in a new tab and use the browser's zoom to try see more clearly, but then you're losing fidelity. That's not to mention the picture to text ration that's got you scrolling down 6 or 7 seven screens worth of "content" before hitting the next page. Even if everything stayed the same width as the landing page, it'd be better than the receipt wide pages we're getting. At least all the additional bumf seems to have been removed from between the content and comments.
I'm sure there's analytics to show mobile vs desktop users, and that the former is more prevalent. It's just that like I said, I'm finding it annoying and like I'm being left out. I've probably been reading Tom's Hardware almost daily for over 20 years. Between this and Anandtech recently shutting up shop, I'm disappointed and wondering what I can replace them with that's going to meet my needs.
Cheers all.
