So what you're saying is that you'd trust text on pretty website opposed to text posted, that you can verify and actually avoid trust by checking the facts?

If I post random AI gibberish on a beautiful website, you'd trust my opinion and not rely on the data that the text really conveys?

This is literally insane, that you value presentation over factual correctness. I guess this is why we have such shit software nowadays.

I didn't say aesthetics was the only trust signal, no. But if you can't make a functional website in 2026 - and I think this is objectively non-functional without any navigation - then I'm going to doubt what else you know how to do

The site is functional. The only signal you valued were aesthetics. You showed zero interest in what the link actually talks about. You're as shallow as they come.

You're welcome to think that but it's interesting to me that my opinion about a design made you so personally butthurt

If your code is as your conclusions are, then that explains why the world's full of warning labels.

You have so far personally attributed to me "why we have such shit software nowadays" and "why the world's full of warning labels"

I'm grateful that you think I'm so important to have such a global impact, even if it's negative, but I think you are mistaken
