As a side note, this came to mind when I opened the link. A sad state really.. https://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/9pmqxb/typical_website_in_2018/ htt

  Mobile reddit brings my phone's browser to its knees. It takes ages to load, is unresponsive, and it also takes an extra 10 seconds to click the 8px font that dismisses their mobile app advertisment. I can only assume that mobile app was the best solution they could come up with after they realized they made a horrible mobile site.

    I think you've got it backwards. The mobile site is deliberately shitty to drive you towards the app.

    No, their mobile site was fine UNTIL they made a mobile app. Just like old reddit used to be, it was lightweight and responsive. Once they released a mobile app to compete with the great mobile app offerings that already existed, they crippled the mobile site with all those ads.

  The real sad state is why is that site uploaded as a reddit video? Instead of linking to the original content it's a video of someone else clicking through? As for the Smithsonian site, I've got AdBlock, uBlock, and ScriptSafe running so I didn't get anything too obnoxious, but it is pretty pitiful that we need that many add-ons just to browse the web.
