OT: is it just me or has this been a nightmare browsing mobile here?

[RIP Kobe]

It takes me 10 mins to make one post. This is ridiculous honestly.

I'm old-fashioned and almost never use my cell phone for anything on the internet. When I do, it's usually RealGM and I have had zero problems. I use Chrome and do not use the RealGM app.

It’s fine now but about a month ago it was insanely bad. Site was crashing every 30 scones for a couple of weeks.

it's not you, i've had the same issues and don't post here as frequently as I used to because of it. The mobile experience is really bad. I would constantly get blitzed by "SPIN THE WHEEL TO WIN AMAZON GIFT CARDS!!!!" and my settings are just fine. I cleared bunch of stuff, checked all my settings, and it would still happen.

I too, would also experience rapidly decreasing battery and very hot phone. This is the only website I have this problem with so I've concluded RealGM is poorly coded for mobile use. It's not worth the frustration...

Well on the bright side, atleast we know our phones are bad!

Yes, this is the worst site I’ve ever used for these kind of issues! I’ll have a week or two where it works fine and then there will be days where I can’t even look at the site on the phone without the page crashing every 30 seconds. It slows my desktop browser down worse than any other site on the internet too. Like even 90% of shady porn sites won’t **** you over this bad.

Yeah Howard, I can’t even look at how many and1s Geddy has!

30 scones

One thing I hate about mobile is that there seems to be a video that autoplays, perhaps part of Google Ads, and I'm sure that's contributing to my bandwidth woes.

Seriously, **** autoplay forever, and anybody who willfully uses autoplay can go to hell.

It's been terrible, on the bright side I'm essentially an amazon gift card millionaire.

On an iPad... no issues for me.

I’m glad someone made this thread

Initially I thought there was a problem with my phone battery and spent days trying to fix it, then I realised it was just browsing on here

In the minute I’ve typed this it’s gone from 50% to 37% that’s just ridiculous. Lucky I barely come here anymore

As someone who works in online ads, there is something going on with like ad injections or something similar happening on the background here. Probably tons of ads loading in the background we can't see for more revenue. If I leave open a couple tabs of RealGM open my computer will just slowly come to a hault, it will freeze my phone on mobile as well. The owner/admin needs to strip all the non Adsense placements and I'm sure it will fix the site.

Worst thing for me is say this is the last site I visit before I close my browser on my phone, then I go to my YouTube app. While I'm watching a YouTube video it will automatically pause it because my browser app is still running in the background and it will automatically play the add, which then pauses my YouTube video. So I have to either go to my browser and close out the tab I have this site open, or close the browser app. Tried it on my girlfriend's phone and same thing. We both have the Pixel 2.

[ProcessMeUpFam]

Someone is honestly banking by loading tons of ads continuously in the background on the users of this site..

[Rastas]

Got to the stage I barely even come to this site on my phone anymore - I'm lucky to get a minute of browsing before it freezes n crashes .

On PC its better but still causes the odd drama.

For me its fine usually. Some lag but nothing major and i live in medditeraneam sea

Do you use safari without an adblocker?

Sometimes it’s fine for me, the next time it takes 3 minutes for my words I typed to appear on the screen. Half the time I just have the page reload with a little error message.
