With that being said when everyone was talking years ago about getting rid of tables and were changing all their sites mine were on page one with tables and stayed there while most of those people chasing their tails bottomed out and left. Since then I have lost nearly all that but that was because of other updates by G a few years back. I just checked and the sites that are still on page 1 are there whether I search the terms on pc or mobile and they are still fixed size table built. So I'm not even sure I need to worry about responsive stuff right now or wait it out until I absolutely have to and then there will be something new again to worry about
With all this being said, android and apple devices resize tables even if they are fixed in size including images. If you build it right the site looks exactly the same on pc and mobile just one being smaller in size, naturally, and I personally like that. I hate when you view something on a tablet/phone and instead of seeing 15 thumbs in the screen you now only get 1 or 2 thumbs because of responsive design. That is like building a site for pc with thumbs that are 750x1000 making the surfer consistently scroll down to see more. To me this is extremely annoying and quite ugly.
Now if you have a 1000 pixel table with 15 60x90 thumbs in a row that shit will be tiny and barely clickable when viewed on mobile. But if you swap it out to 5 or 6 150x200 or larger thumbs then even on small phones it is easily viewable and clickable. Plus, to me, it is far better looking so I have to assume it is better looking to others as well.
Then again, I am old so get off my lawn you young non buying whipper snappers
