> throw font sizes so small at your readers that they need to zoom to read
My problem is usually the opposite: I constantly stumble upon websites that use ridiculously large fonts like I'm a grandma that tries to read something on an overkillishly-retina display from meters away. However it doesn't usually bother me when I'm browsing from my desktop 'cause I have options to zoom out; however most of mobile layouts feature something like <meta name="viewport" content="..., minimum-scale=1"> (edit: also mentioned in the article albeit in a bit different context), which makes me choose between intensive vertical scrolling in regular mode and constant horizontal scrolling if I "request desktop site". (Yeah, I know, "reader mode"; it's a reasonable hack but I'm not quite satisfied with any of implementations either, and it only works for whatever browser thinks the main body of the page is.)
