> However, for the life of me I can't remember exactly when it started to suck.

Whatever the date, it's tightly coupled with the explosion of internet-capable mobile devices.

My personal pick would be 2012, because that's when the Samsung Galaxy S3 came out and outsold its predecessor more than twofold.

Coincidentally that's when the small agency I was working for at the time started offering making pages look on mobile devices.

In terms of units the market for mobile devices peaked just four years later.

yeah, a lot of people pinpoint the moment when it started going downhill at around 2010. re: explosion of mobile devices, i'd say the release of apple's iPhone was a key event
