This site works fine on mobile
Mobile design was something created for old phones that didn't have quite the resolution of computer monitors. Modern phones don't really need mobile designed sites.
Uhh...

Why is this on here? Sorry, I'm missing the context.

You can close the auto-playing video by simply waiting 10 seconds for the “x close” button to appear, which is 5px high and 12px wide.
"which is 5px high and 12px wide" And that is just the visible part, actual clickable area is 1px by 1px so even when you correctly click on the "x", you don't actually close it.

Kinda doesn't though. Mobile most of all needs concessions for the much more limited input precision.
With updates dating back to 1999! https://futureblues.com/what.shtml
It's funny how the site kept getting regular updates but stopped right in the middle of the owner watching the Netflix adaptation.
They could’ve made that contrast of high and low budget simultaneously work, if it wasn’t for the extreme miscasting and needless changes.
I can only imagine what a super fan would’ve thought.

Reddit mobile site does this when you tap a post. It drives me nuts. Then you have to hit back, which refreshes Reddit and brings you back to the top. I think it’s intentionally designed to get people to switch to the app.
This might also be a dark pattern to exploit attention spans compromised by chronic content consumption.
A user sees new content at the top of the page, forgets the content they wanted to see, sticks around to look at novel material.
THEN the user either goes back and gets distracted again, or at the very least, goes back to their intended page.
Also to note, Reddit disabled i.reddit.com (the old mobile site that was snappy) within the last month.
I wouldn’t be surprised if old.reddit.com was next on the chopping block.
Aside from the Cowboy Bebop nostalgia hit, this site is a great example of how clear, creative, and fun sites were in the late 1990s. While I struggle to identify the many reasons why I think sites looked better back then, I think being simple and content focused are two of them.
>I think being simple and content focused are two of them. You mean you don't like newsletter subscription pop-ups? Or a virtual assistant chat window on the corner? Or auto-playing videos that follow you when you scroll down? Or a choice between "Accept all cookies" and "Learn more?"

And, oh, you don't want advertising cookies? Here's a list of a dozen categories you have to manually deselect one-at-a-time. To help with this there's a bright-colored button that says, "accept all" and a drab text link that says, "use my selection."
