Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

[[Okay, there are some blog theme issues that just rub me the wrong way.

First off, I personally find Autoplay annoying, as someone who likes to listen to other music while doing things. I just wish it was paused by default or something.

Second, I’ve seen several blogs that have an “aesthetic over readability” problem. This bothers me a lot, especially with ask/RP blogs that rely heavily on writing. Colors that don’t mesh well together (or are too similar to each other), three-point fonts, games of “find-the-scrollbar”, difficult-to-find links…

Not every blog with an alternative look has problems like these, but I see it happen enough that I’m glad I have this chance to talk about it.

There’s a reason I’ve always used “Redux”. It’s simple, readable, and still looks nice in its simplicity (plus you can customize it fine).

Now, nothing I’ve mentioned is a deal-breaker, by any means, and I might be the only person who’s irked by these things. But they irk me nonetheless.]]
