Better than Medium. Sometimes the header image is so massive that the article doesn't even show up on my 4k monitor without scrolling down.

Maximize screenspace to appreciate monuments to slavery and hereditary monarchy 😎

@SortOfTested Yeah, I was wondering about the Pyramids. What are they for? What do they mean? Why are they in an article about the Serverless Framework?

I guess it's better than yet another stock image of HTML, but still...

@EmberQuill it's medium, the images are either random, or kinda horrible meme like stuff.

@N00bPancakes yeah, the only reason I ended up on Medium was because I didn't notice the URL of a Google search result. I wouldn't have gone to that website otherwise.

Who the fuck surf without Adblock in 2020 lmao

@EmberQuill I find medium better.
You see instantly the title and scroll to the rest. Don't have to check or search for the actual content. Need to scroll is not a crime. Above the fold is a myth.

I agree that it needs to be far more subtle on 4k though.

ABP

@uyouthe because without ads then there will be more paywalls?

@RinseAndRepeat because I have the right to choose what I want to see and what I don’t, and the argument of “but don’t visit the website then” is invalid

@uyouthe oh no of course you do. I'm just pointing out that if everybody did that it's likely to push content creators towards paywall models.

@RinseAndRepeat so what? There is nothing wrong with supporting a creator you like. On an unrelated note, we took down StarForce.

@uyouthe oh yeah agreed. Not sure what you mean about StarForce?

@RinseAndRepeat when that mofos invent a problem we invent a solution

Just shoot them an email saying users are more important than ads and you would receive the most polite "fuck off" in response.
