It's funny to me when sites present things like this as "the worse" experience but… this is exactly how I've always wanted the site to present information to me. All content, no cruft.

@kimpegasus it's so funny seeing this from an American pov, it's like... LOOK. THIS IS WHAT THE EU WANTS. MINIMALISM. GROSS, ISN'T IT? I BET YOU'LL BE BEGGING FOR FIDDLY BITS ALL OVER YOUR SCREEN IN NO TIME.
