Good Design

Tried to read your article on http://www.slate.com/ but found text too small and impossible to scale up on tablet.

What is your opinion on these sites forcing reader into uncomfortably tiny fonts? No design in the world matters when reading text is nearly impossible, where all needed is to remove this tag:

<meta name=”viewport” … maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no”>

I have impaired vision and my eyes suffer from tiny fonts.

Any way to publicly shaming them? Or maybe boycotting them by not sending any articles to their pages?
