It's funny that the people who designed this monstrosity of a web page feel qualified enough to advice other people about design.

Who would be qualified enough to talk with you about new design trends then?those that design on your taste? Rarely, if ever, new design trends are liked by everyone. All in all, I think they are qualified enough.

Here are some objective issues with this page that I don't think is really up to taste (honestly these are so obvious that I assume you viewed the website on mobile which is fair, I never used the mobile version. Because I don't think anyone in good conscience would argue with the terribleness of the desktop version of the website). Note that I will not include many taste-based issues with the website (like the god-awful mouse cursor) because they could be attributed to taste. The following issues are objective issues though:

- Low performance. Because the website steals cursor rendering, moving the cursor feels bad and laggy. - The icon for the "menu" looks exactly like the mouse cursor. I don't think this constitutes good design.

- Also the icon for the menu doesn't look like the extremely established menu icon (even though it changes to that when you hover over it). Initially I th ought maybe it is a dark/light mode toggle.

- Speaking of the dark mode, the page flashbangs you halfway through scrolling the page for absolutely no reason.

- The link texts are borderline unreadable in the "light" section of the page when you hover over them.

> the page flashbangs you

Did anyone understand what the purpose of that was?

Emotional connection.

Those who experience trauma together often form a strong emotional bond.
