Adding pockets costs next to nothing.

You think this is some overlooked thing that the clothing industry never considered? That this is some secret niche that just hasn’t been filled? They don’t sell. If they did, then there would be brands or clothing lines with pockets, and marked up for the piddly cost of the manufacturing expense.

That has NEVER HAPPENED. It’s not because the manufacturing can’t be priced adequately despite high consumer demand, it’s because for all the shouting at clouds, women, in general as a consumer demographic, do not buy pants with pockets.

“I saw it on YouTube and therefore it must be true, not basic economics”

The clothing industry doesn’t make many clothes with pockets for women because they don’t sell. Women all complain that they don’t get pockets, but then vote with their wallets.

This is a legit example of the intended meaning of the phrase “the customer is always right.” The market supplies what customers demand, and for all the fist shaking about having nowhere to put a phone, there’s very little actual market demand for women’s clothing with pockets. Majority of demand is related to outdoor activities so you see them there.

JS isn’t that problem. It’s a tool, and I’d wager your expectation of web page functionality hinges on it in most cases. If we didn’t have it we’d be back to the 90s where web pages fully refresh every time we click on something, if we want to see the information update on the page. JS, CSS, and HTML are the foundations of what we call websites.

Like any tool it can be used for dirty shit, but in order for it to be functional in the ways we want it to be it will also have potential for abuse.

If you want to you can install add-ons that block JS functionality - go ahead and enable them if you like; it let’s you enable JS elements manually so that you can maintain a better security posture online. I’m not even being sassy, I recommend you do it if you care about privacy or security.

It’ll be a giant pain in the ass though and you’ll end up having to enable a bunch of stuff manually to get websites to work. But you’ll learn a lot and you’ll be better protected against tracking, malware, ads, etc.
