Internet, especially on mobile devices, is becoming more and more unusable every day. Fucking ads everywhere, taking up more space than the content. Autoplaying videos overlayed on top of the content. Close buttons so small they are all but impossible to hit on a touchscreen. Cookie consent banners on every site (opt out of course). The list just goes on...

I don't even care about the bandwidth, it's just a pain to use. I've started using Safari's reader view and the new "Hide Distracting Items" option to hide most of it, but I shouldn't have to. Capitalism really does ruin everything.
