I'm really not sure what's even being complained about on the original site. It's quite readable (only tested with an ad blocker) and really the only annoying thing is the "accept our cookies" footer.
In fact it's even better if you just disable JS entirely, it's like an old static only blog and loads extremely quickly, with no bullshit.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoI'm using my phone right now. The annoying "accept our cookies" popup you mentioned took up 80% of my screen and 100% of the space reserved for text I actually cared about. There were also a ton of social media sharing buttons which I never use, taking up space and reducing privacy. I didn't get a reader mode prompt for some reason, so I used the outline site which got rid of all that. Apparently that site is serving ads now so I won't be using it anymore.
- bscphil 5y agoThanks for letting me know; it looks fine on desktop. Probably the site predates responsive design standards.

- matheusmoreira 5y agoI wasn't referring to Boiling Steam. I was talking about the outline.com site I used to make it easier to read. According to WoodenChair's comment above, it serves ads now. > You linked to a totally different site that derives revenue from advertising. Which is why I will no longer be using it.
- ekianjo 5y agoGot it, sorry I was confused by your last message. Thanks.
