I was just wondering how often people when using a mobile device and given the choice choose to switch to the desktop site.
My cellphone is an s4 which is as good as my monitor and I have being spoon fed information off a mobile website. I can always (almost) zoom in on areas I'm interested in.
Would have made this a poll but couldn't find the loll button.
Mobile or desktop websites?

I almost always use the "request desktop site" on my Nexus 5. Of course ill use a few well laid out mobile sites but generally like to use the desktop version and pinch and zoom. A double tap for most new phones on the sections you are reading is pretty actuate in zooming to the correct crop on most websites.
Mobile targeted websites are often that offensive towards the intelligence of the visitor, that I immediately leave, if no real version is available. Do web designers really think, somebody is brainless, the moment s/he uses a mobile device ?
