If you solve the problem for yourself, you're only benefiting yourself.
If you actually talk publicly about how it should be properly addressed in the first place, you add to societal pressure so other people do things right. That's the only one that produces the desired outcome more broadly and long-term.
We have valuable things like accessibility standards because enough people complained. Or would you rather we not had those because those people were "just complaining"?
- wat10000 2y agoI'd be perfectly happy with "it's still best if sites ensure that they're readable by default." But this whiny "but what if I'm using a crappy browser" response isn't the way to make that point.
- crazygringo 1y agoI'm sorry, whiny? Why don't you take a look at the HN guidelines: > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. And there are things you can critique about Chrome, but it's certainly not "crappy". It's also the most popular by far, even on devices where it's not default. So please don't tell people not to complain, and please don't call them whiny. It's entirely inappropriate, and not helpful at all. HN is not the place for these things.
