I have my settings so that if I'm reading from my friends list, everything shows up in my journal style, which for comment pages is the LJ Default. But if I'm following a link from elsewhere, like this one (from my e-mail notification), it shows up in whatever style the journal's owner has chosen.
Frankly, I won't read anything that comes in a light text on a dark background. I know I can add "?style=mine" to the end of the URL, but there's a lot of stuff to read out there and usually I just can't be arsed to do so -- not just because of the time it takes to type that code and wait for the page to reload, but because I assume that people who post their stuff on unreadable layouts just don't want me to read their stuff. I mean, if they wanted me to read their stuff, why would they make me strain my eyes to do so? There are writers in the House fandom whose stories I just instantly bypass when they show up on my flist because I know they have awful layouts on their sites.
So yeah. I'm kind of bitchy about this because I'm visually disabled and it's not like we're in the '90s anymore. Sorry.
