Am I the only one who finds it frustrating how sites seem to be prioritizing mobile users over PC users? (lemm.ee)

I tried looking at the reviews for a monitor, and when I clicked "see more reviews" I got redirected to a page asking me to login and to provide my mobile phone number (which I didn't do for privacy reasons).

On Instagram I was confused at everyone else mentioning Instagram stories because I only have the option of uploading pictures and videos. Then I found out that it's something you can only do if you use Instagram on a phone... I swear I've came across a few sites that wouldn't even let you sign up if you were using a PC

I only ever browse social media on a PC and that's the way it will always be. Sometimes I can't help but feel like desktop/computer users are becoming an afterthought. Anyone else have similar feelings? 🫠

I made a Pixelfed art account a while ago and I think it's pretty good! The site's very responsive and I prefer it over Instagram. Pixelfed has been experiencing an influx of new users lately too which is great! Do you have an account there?
