kradeelavconspiracy theory: it's responsive-"required" sites that killed the old web
i say that tongue-in-cheek but after about three days of really trying to Understand(tm) css flexboses/the grid shit (without hacking it via bootstrap or something) i swear to god this shit is impenetrable - it definitely crosses the line from hobbyist 'hacking almost-from-scratch tumblr/dw layouts is mega fun plus RESULTS even with minimal html/css knowlage' to 'where do i start bruh'
like, you *have* to have the latest browsers and you *have* to have some sort of like ... corporate-sponsored "generator"/"weebly-esque paid site"/"design program" helper to really do it right and nnnnngh gosh i hate hate hate what it means in terms of like yet another barrier for say, high school girls who just want to build a bomb ass site without being a ""coder"""" (aka the thing that made web 1.0 an entire thing.)
i will figure it out eventually only because lol stubborness but oh my g o d
edit: i cannot BELIEVE that with all the bullshit hokey pokey 'website builders' around that tumblr is still by far the most accessible html/css WYSIWYG editor oh my god
YELLING
