You can still make shit websites. Lots of people do. The problem is, they're more fun to make than to visit. So don't get huffy if potential visitors go to social media instead.
Which is also shit, albeit more expensive shit. Facebook looks like a Fischer Price toy due for a recall.
My eyes hurt. No thank you.

I also love the content: fun but still really clear about everything you may need to know, with a lot of useful details just there.
Really cool.

I mean I would expect them to after making the first site suggesting you do it like this, to make a number of sites showing the aesthetic put to other subjects of interest. Like, Carl's Icosahedron Spot on the WEB might be an example site but no.
It's almost like they don't have anything else to say but make it like it used to be.
(The viewport units are fundamentally stupidly broken by design, including scrollbar areas, so that if your website has scrollbars they will give you a wrong answer, that the actual viewport width will be things like 17px less than 100vw. There used to be a convoluted way of unbreaking the units with the mild side-effect of forcing the presence of a scrollbar—it involved `overflow: scroll` on the body element, from memory—but Firefox was the only one that implemented it and after some years they collectively gave up and removed it from the spec. So now I say there are literally zero completely legitimate and reasonable uses of viewport units, though there are a few uses where the amount of error is tolerable, though still not a good idea.)
I'm on mobile. It loads quick. I saw no ads. It was reasonable straight to the point: no explanation about this being grandmothers pie recipe or anything to that effect. (In fact, if you consider the point of the website to be funny it is actually straight to the point.) If it is fast, doesn't track me and provides the answers I need I can put up with some animations. I'd say what we have today is far more problemati…

Same experience here. It loads instantly when 99% of the sites need 30s to 1 min to load. It looks decent on mobile (not too big, not too small). Contrast is good, fonts are readable. This guy should give web design lessons.

I would assume it's 'this girl', but I do agree

I loaded it on mobile too.. - Horizontal scrolling because it isn't properly responsive. - it doesn't reflow when the device orientation changes - no sound (there's an audio control so I guess there's meant to be..) - the audio control sits over the flags - wildly different text sizes everywhere - so much layout shift - from an error loading the Korean version I think it's running on a platform that tracks what users…
I still take this over:
- the noncompliant cookie warnings
- ... with >400 "partners" (yes, I have counted)
- works best in IE^HChrome
- 20 seconds loading
- written for Googlebot, instead of for a human like either the author or me. (Meaning it is bland, formula-driven.)
websites I often deal with as long as it provides the answers/entertainment I am looking for.
