If the end-result of the law + standard human behavior is that you made web browsing a crappier experience then you made a crappy law.

That's not a very good way to figure out if a law is "crappy". Building codes make for a crappier construction experience (can't just do whatever TF you want) but that doesn't mean they're bad. Laws requiring designated handicapped parking spaces make parking a slightly crappier experience for non-handicapped people. That doesn't mean they're crappy laws.
- briHass 4y agoIt's a bad law if it ends up punishing the people it was intended to help. If the building code had a clause about building decks and max occupancy where the easiest way for a contractor to comply was to post a gigantic sign permanently attached to the deck stating the weight limit, the end-user would view that as terrible as well.
