Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

Exactly, thanks

Being impossible to read is not common

Get a better browser I'd say. Firefox Reader mode makes short work of such sites, including the submission. I use it very often, so I can enjoy the content rather than get frustrated over styling issues.

Ah then I deserve it. I didn't notice from the app I was using that it wasn't all the way to the left

Your response didn’t have anything to do with the parent comment. And I’m on a phone (iOS) and had no issue reading it, for the record.

As well as contrast issues, could also be that there was a javascript error on their end (or they don't whitelist sites for JS by default). This is unfortunately one of those sites that renders a completely blank page unless you use reader mode, enable JS, or disable CSS.

If it was a random JS error, well, that reminds me of: https://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/everyonehasjs.html
