In reply to the discussion: My opinion (which is worth what you paid for it) on DU4 [View all]FakeNoose
(33,056 posts)I come to DU almost every day on my desktop computer. I never have trouble reading it on my computer because I have lots of options such as rescaling the fonts etc.
But one time I tried surfing to DU from my cellphone and I said - yuck! never again. I hated how it behaved on my phone and I never wanted to read it or try to navigate it. (this was DU3)
Some DUers have no choice but to view everything including DU on their phones, because they don't own a desktop or laptop computer. This is how the world is evolving, and we're the dinosaurs. EarlG has foreseen that we need to adapt to the cellphone users, or lose them altogether. That would be a problem when we dinosaurs die off, and the young ones aren't here to replace us.
We need young people, especially liberal-voting young people who care about political issues. We can't send them away because they don't like the navigational difficulties. Other websites like TicTok, YouTube, Reddit, etc. have figured it out already. We're learning from them how to attract and retain the younger subscribers.
