The absolute state of modern mobile website design (old man yells at iCloud)

Websites that automatically play videos and audio, and then thrust a box out window in the bottom left or right of said video when you start to scroll. Arseholes.

very funny if youve never read any of his stuff before

I think you guys are confusing "modern" web design with bad website design centred around ad impressions. This is not web design, it's monetisation.

Also modernism was 60 years ago. /art grad

Pretty much all websites are poorly optimised for mid size screen devices. Most don't use nearly enough break points, are never tested and the worst still use completely separate designs as if nobody ever visits the same website different ways or on multiple desktops. And it's all because of ads. The fixed size ad units make advertisers happy so they pay more for creative control over ratio, content weighting etc.

So the solution is clear. Ban ad.

I know it's ads that's the problem GG, but as they're now the focus of most article based pages you have to consider them part of the design, and while some is down to not testing as you say (probably the agency who did it only uses iPhones and never look at it on anything else for example) , most are intrusive on purpose. People don't click on the ads MAKE THEM BIGGER AND FILL THE PAGE

I was involved in a website build 6 months ago and left just before the project was complete. I got told the day it launched and saw that quite clearly it hadn't been tested on mobile devices because all the images were massive and the content was pushed to small frames and strange columns. I couldn't be arsed telling them as I didn't work there any more and I'd left clear instructions which nobody followed.

nobody seems to listen to web designers. You're lucky if a portion of what you recommend actually gets implemented, it's a constant battle with dumb ideas.
