Modern trend of too much white space in WWW web page design

<< < (3/7) > >>

There are still hundreds of millions of PCs and Macs in use across the world...  why give them all an inferior experience?

This kind of thing is what happens when Big Tech gets a monopoly, after a short love affair during the growth years...  - you get the service that is convenient to them, not the service you actually want and need.

Maybe I'm showing my age, but I typically have my browser zoom set for 120% or more on a 17" laptop.  I don't see anything different about white space on ebay.  In fact while checking that, I found a guy in North Carolina (less than an hour from my contract assembler) who is selling at a good price 900 of the AK4556VT I'm looking for! 

What I hate is the trend these days to use light grey fonts on light grey backgrounds.  This web site does that although the font is not so bad it's hard to see.  Some web sites are so bad it is very hard for me to read and I give up. 

Why is that a thing?  Grey on grey.  WTF?  :-//

Let's assume Ebay is not actually self destructive and are following the demands of customers. I also don't agree Ebay has a monopoly. My last purchase was on Aliexpress as was the previous one.

I think eBay has a monopoly on a certain group of buyers. They don't like to stray.

I would love to stray, but what option is there? I've explored a few alternatives but always walked away thoroughly disappointed. Nowhere near the selection of interesting stuff and sky high asking prices on anything that was even remotely interesting. It's a classic chicken & egg problem, none of the competitors have ever hit critical mass.
