Why are you salty?
Suspect they think it's edgy to waste everybody's time by making oblique reference to some perceived slight. I can't work out what the problem is either. muybasado: Please, either speak plainly and explicitly or, if you're unwilling to do so, remain quiet.
All behold the latest in web design: https://www.cameronsworld.net/
Doing crazy things with CSS, including animations, has never been easier or more consistent between browsers, and yet creativity in web design has gone down practically to zero these days. I blame mobile, where nobody can seem to escape from the "responsive column of blandly styled content" paradigm.
Working in web hosting, I've hosted many sites like this and had to deal with some of the people who've made them. And I have to say that while it's fun to point and laugh at the websites, there are a few of these in the ring that are borderline troubling. It is clear that their authors are suffering from some serious mental illnesses and at the very least some major delusions. I recall a case years ago where I hoste…
At what point does appreciating content produced by the mental ill become exploitation of them? Gene Ray was clearly mentally ill, but few had any qualms about enjoying the WTF quality of the Time Cube website. Some of the classic twentieth-century art by outsider artists like Adolf Wölfli was in large part the consequence of their illness, and yet it is appreciated nevertheless, so couldn’t the same persist today fo…
Edit: It becomes art when the person creating it declares it as art. Otherwise it's just sad. Thank you @mulmen for brining this point out.

Cursed indeed. I am enjoying the web 1.0 insanity of the Atari parts maker for 8-bit machines. Somewhere there is a person still making a bit of cash from 1985 tech. https://cursed.llolo.lol/best-electronics-ca.com/

> who viewed their stints in a mental hospital as an attack to their freedom. In fairness, this is an attack on their freedom.
I don't have a better solution, but there has to be a better treatment for paranoid schizophrenia than kidnapping them, strapping them to a bed, transporting them in a windowless vehicle to a location they've never been, forcibly drugging them, and letting them wander around with other psychotics for a couple days.

Surely intent matters? If a person claims to be an artist then we can appreciate their art. If a percon claims to be an investigative journalist but actually doesn't understand the concept public utilities then I'm not sure we should treat that as entertainment.
How far the web strayed from this, it's a shame really. The soul has left :/
Love this, there's so much personality in these. No JS cruft, no cosmetics, no filler, just cool (and in this case very weird) vibes. How far the web strayed from this, it's a shame really. The soul has left :/
