I didn't say you suggested otherwise, but it seemed like you didn't get it and it seems like you still don't. The way I read this is that you are generalizing. Some people do and some people don't, right? So it really doesn't mean anything when talking about an individual.
Pretty much nobody uses a forum for the amount of pinching or zooming they get to do (though some people will
stop using it they have to do too much of that). The appeal of forums are the users and conversations. That's a generalization I'm comfortable making.
Not everybody being the same, by the way, is one of the better arguments for scaling things down: most people don't have 5G, fast Wi-Fi, and unlimited data, and therefore can't afford to be insouciant about loading a full desktop version of each page when all they want to do is see text.
How I feel and what I like is something you can't disagree with. I'm genuinely shocked by some of what you're saying.
I'm genuinely shocked you thought comparing full-width posts to "eating s**t" was reasonable, but here we are.
And what I can disagree with is the idea that somebody's preferences are forever frozen, and that habit plays no role in reinforcing them.
I do have a way of knowing. Your site is not the only one on the Internet and it's not the first mobile version I've tried. My site has a mobile and desktop style as well. I don't do all of the codes like you do, I have a webguy for that, but I do all of the content and most of the SEO. I know what I like.
The fact that people get used to even awful, cumbersome ways of doing things, and even come to prefer them through familiarity, is totally inarguable. It happens all the time, with websites, programs, workplace protocols, and a million other things. Nobody's really immune to it, either, so nobody should feel shocked or offended at the idea.
Anyway, if you're going to reply to totally reasonable points with dismissive emojis, I'd just as soon spend my time on more productive things. Like working on this mobile style/apparent torture device.
