Description: Getting drunk on wild flights of fancy.
It's something I've been noticing/saying for years, but backed up with a lot of examples. It ties somewhat to The Danger of Minimalist Design and Why Is Everything So Ugly? Of course, I look at this site and... guilty.
It is refreshing to see a company own up to making a bad call and working to correct the matter so quickly. You can put it down to the bean counters seeing the cost of the backlash, but I’d rather chalk it up to a win for a community that stood up for itself.
It’s “stupid” projects like this - the ones that are done purely for the love of it - that make me love the internet. There’s no commercial angle to it, it’s pure goofy fun.
