ScarJo saying no you can't use my voice and Altman doing it anyway is so telling.

I started vlogging a few weeks ago as a way to learn how to edit videos and just generally share about life in a new way because typical blogging wasn't doing it for me any longer.

A few videos in, I can already tell an improvement in editing.

I am not a designer (I think I'm actively bad at design even) so I don't mean to bash anyone, but as a user I find interfaces like this absolutely terrible:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/the-1-sitcom-of-all-time-isn-t-seinfeld-friends-or-the-office-according-to-data-see-the-top-100/ss-BB1lXB5Z?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=0616b5997d6a41b88a4a09b1380343cb&ei=41#image=1

It's so damned busy and distracting, where does the article stop/start? The article itself literally seems to stop at "Counting down from , here are the best sitcoms of all time." which is the clickbaity shit that gets you there in the first place. Where? Where is it? Can you find it? I can't.

@bkardell the MSN article design is such a hot mess and based on what I experienced while at Msft, you can't convince me it's not intentional to get people to accidentally click on any of those sponsored click bait links.

@bkardell I always struggle with these because they are a carousel. I don't have time to click through 100. Also on some articles, they put content behind a read more button that basically just reveals the rest of the article and I constantly miss that. It's not paywalled. Why is it necessary.

@bkardell yes it is, there should be arrows on the pictures 🥴

When you work on the web platform and web standards.

Font Awesome raised $721,620 to build an open source library of web components. Their goal was $30,000.

I need to collect my thoughts and put it in a blog post but I'm curious what the community's thoughts are on this because that is not a trivial amount of money.

As a web platform PM working in open source and trying to find ways to get funding for projects...was this good marketing? Is it selling a different solution to what's already out there?
