I admire and blame David Carson for this. It requires no skill to make something legible. The point of art isn't to be legible, it's to pull eyeballs (and sales) or send a message. If something is pleasing to everyone, it stands out to nobody.

Every junior designer will create a very clear website. And there's no harm in hiring junior designers if you want that. More experienced ones will try to annoy some to attract others.

I have no idea what's going on with https://stripe.dev for example. It's beautiful. There's a pointless fractal in the corner. The link to Stack Overflow is equally pointless. But in the end, I get the impression that Stripe does some precision shit which is what I want for a payment gateway.
