"In the past couple years, however, I have noticed a new phenomenon. Remarkably - madly, in my view - there are webpages, webpages that should be simple, webpages by all appearances that consist of nothing more than a photo (maybe more than one), a byline, and a few hundred words of text, that require Javascript to load. As in, you will get a a blank page or an error message if you don't have their scripts enabled."

I use noscript as default and I'm noticing the same thing. I post them to twitter. Here's a sample:

- 'Here are the instructions how to enable #JavaScript in your #web #browser.'

- 'For full functionality of this site it is necessary to enable #JavaScript.'

- You must enable #javascript in order to use #Slack. You can do this in your #browser settings.

- 'You appear to have #JavaScript disabled, or are running a non-JavaScript capable #web #browser.'

- 'Please note: Many features of this site require #JavaScript.'

- 'Tinkercad requires #HTML5/#WebGL to work properly. It looks like your #browser does not support WebGL.'

- 'Warning: The NCBI web site requires #JavaScript to function. more...'

- 'Whoops! Our site requires #JavaScript to operate. Please allow JavaScript in order to use our site.'

- 'The #media could not be played.'

- 'Notice: While #Javascript is not essential for this website, your interaction with the content will be limited.'

- 'Powered by #Discourse, best viewed with #JavaScript enabled'
