Just started getting this now. Hopefully it’s some A/B testing that they’ll stop doing, but I’m not holding my breath

    I hate how these kinds of messages never explain WHY. It’s just “Do it. Do what we tell you.” 💀

      A lot of websites are react which doesn’t function without JavaScript. It’s a more powerful tool for web dev and can be a better experience for the user if used right.

        Great. If that was their reason, they could explain that. But they didn’t and that’s my beef.

        But since you seem to be tech savvy, you also already know why they don’t explain which great features of react they want to use on this page. And we all already know it’s not for the user’s benefit. It’s for money they receive from data mining every minute of our lives.

      Probably because 99.999% of users already use JS and dedicating a web page to it is already more work than they needed to put into it

        I think it’s just to avoid explaining why, and how they harvest your data. That said, I also hate how a lot of errors of the big corpo are just like “This site has an error” no error-code, no further feedback what to do etc.

      BOW TO YOUR MASTERS, AND SUCK OUR DICK!!!

      I remember 10 years ago looking at a calculator app in the android app store, and seeing the permissions. And thinking “WHY THE FUCK DOES A CALCULATOR NEED MY LOCATION, AND ACCESS TO MY PHONE CONTACTS???”

      Fuck THAT.
