Click the link and start to read, I am certainly familiar and similarly annoyed with the first complaint:
>Every Medium site displays an on-screen “sharing” bar that covers the actual content I want to read. This is particularly annoying on the phone, where screen real estate is most precious.
I open the link to the listed example, and mobile.twitter.com covers the top 25% of screen with a login prompt(likely an app store redirect if I take the bait? I use, seldomly, 'Tinfoil' client app from FDroid if I want to login to Twitter), and the bottom 25% with the notice about the ever evolving 'privacy/divulgance' policy.
Oy Vey... Really makes me appreciate the few text only, practical UI, bullshit free sites I have left to visit online, like this one.
- noisem4ker 9y agoMaybe you just need to buy one of these new smartphones with a stupidly tall 18:9 display. Jokes aside, screen space on mobile devices stopped being considered precious by publishers and designers long ago.
- imron 9y agoIt's still considered precious by me, and I stop visiting sites on mobile that don't also value it.
