Edited to add a hat-tip to BrainBurner who linked to it 23 days ago but nobody cared.
Probably because he actually waded through the content rather than poking fun at the horrific layout.
I shit you not, it took me the better part of three days to make it through that article. Because: 1. It's a long ass, rather dry article 2. The layout necessitated me taking breaks from reading it. I should add the layout wasn't something I consciously thought was bad. I freely admit I know little about these matters, and care little more. I did unconsciously feel the layout was rather crummy, if that makes sense. It's a decent article, believe it or not. Is it worth the slog through that lay out? Probably not, but the topic is something I'm into so it was worth it to me personally.
Watch out. It's apparently a trend. http://www.creativebloq.com/web-design/snowfall-51411702
Good design acts solely to enhance to content and make it more accessible to the audience. That is why truly great design is invisible - you don't notice the design, you simply read or look at the content. This is not good design.
I loaded this article on mobile, and it was 100% readable! But on an actual computer? Just quit.
