You have a choice about what sites you visit. It sounds like you expect everything to conform to your vision of how things should be. That's contrary to a voluntary web.
- asark 7y agoSame with Flash. Or popups. Or popunders. Or loud auto-playing banner ads. We complained about those anyway, and mostly ended them. Then proceeded to bring it all back, but worse. I'm making a statement of the general mood regarding those old, abused technologies. The modern web is at least as bad as the barbaric old web of pops both over and under, of Flash, of auto-playing loud banner ads, annoying redirects, and so on. Somehow we collectively mustered enough outrage to get rid of those things, but now the only way to stop it is to get rid of or neuter Javascript and probably CSS, too, so oh well, guess we just have to live with it forever.
