If we keep going down this path, it will legitimately begin to impact the ability of people with older devices to access any information at all apart from those delivered through a handful of walled garden apps. > In the end, I think web developers need to stop using ridiculous frontend tech for what ultimately constitutes static text content. Completely agreed!
