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 used to be upset by all the mobile shit and then I went to college for computer stuff and started hating looking at computers after working on them all day. Now I'm a help desk tech and I don't own a working computer of my own because using them outside of work feels like work. If I can't do something official on mobile, I just get permission to do it on my work computer. If something for fun doesn't have a mobile version, I don't do whatever that thing is.

I do not like all the requests for phone numbers and shit, though. Just let me look at the site without being bothered.
