Yet when people see that site (professionals) they cringe and start giving me all kinds of 'Do this" and "do that", most of which I've tried and didn't work. (Animated GIFs for thumbs, endless scroll, hot spot pre-loads, add video/remove video, turn the design responsive, try pop-unders, try re-directs, try placing ads in the Footer, get a seperate mobile version, on and on...)

So that's the resistance.
