Tangent.

This guy has the best and probably most read blog on cybersecurity incidents. He's smart enough to serve ads from his own domain but can't even bother to make his site mobile friendly? I've seen people pick on the sites of free tools and side projects for the same reason but somehow this gets a pass.

Well, it loads instantly and I can read it just fine on my mobile device, which is more than I can say for half of "mobile friendly" sites out there, so there's that...

Anyway, he mentioned about a year ago that he knows the design of his blog is outdated, and he was looking at making it more modern.

he does whatever he wants
...yeah? And? Everyone does whatever they want, not even criminal law makes it impossible to act a certain way. What's your point? It's still a terrible design choice, and it alienates a great number of potential readers.
not everything is a business, maybe he just writes blog posts for fun / himself
So do I, which is why I blocked all images on his site.
Does it matter? Why?
Looks fine on mobile Firefox
