The section about mobile devices being for consumption instead of creation really resonated with me. I still use my smartphone every day, but none of my uses are related to content creation; it&#x27;s mostly a time killer while I&#x27;m away from a desktop.<p>I&#x27;ve become pretty strict about installing applications on my smartphone. It seems like so many applications just wanna track everything you do and blast ads in your face. And the worst ones even start showing random notifications! To me this just shows a total lack of respect from their part. I always regret installing applications that behave this way.<p>What&#x27;s most surprising to me about mobile is that somehow it just keeps getting worse. I&#x27;ve been a smartphone user since the Nexus One came out, and I currently own a Nexus 5X. I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve ever had a smartphone that was as buggy and crashed as often as this!<p>If you&#x27;re on Android, I strongly suggest installing Firefox with uBlock Origin and Ghostery. It makes the mobile web much better. But overall, doing anything on mobile feels like a painful chore.
