Sounds like it’s by design. Payouts for clicks is way higher than impressions. Sneaky sneaky. Or, malicious payloads await on the other side.

My favorite is when a full react site loads up, doesn’t have error boundaries, hits some unimportant js exception, and the entire page that was fully rendered and ready to go just pops out of existence and you are looking at a white page. That doesn’t seem like forward progress at all.

Mozilla’s famous docs do this on my iPad pro rendering it utterly useless and honestly reflects badly on them, how can you claim to be an authority on documenting html/js when your site doesn’t even render?

People like to talk badly about w3schools but at least it manages the bear minimum of actually being able to render and display the information I’m looking for.

This is why I shun any and all front-end frameworks. They all suffer from this (except lit) with their shadow-dom.

If a page is presented, it better be f&@king usable
