Why do so many mobile versions of sites run worse on phone than desktop versions? (sffa.community)

When you're developing a site you have to decide whether to have a completely separate site for mobile (which is generally twice as much work for future site updates) or try to make one layout that adapts to both desktop and mobile (which tends to favor one or the other.)

It's really not that hard to make a single, responsive layout, but these fuckers just love cramming in the most unnecessary bs into their web experience.

And that is what makes it a problem.
