In another sense it's quite beautiful though, it encourages me to visit more frequently before the titles begin to decay into things I wouldn't click on.

I love these kinds of sites, and they always leave an impression on me, even when I only spend a day or two lurking the recent posts. Especially ones designed for niche interests such as old and long-dead games.

I genuinely think you should feel proud for making the world just a little bit better and more like it's ideal self

A long while later: that whole website is a treasure trove.

Navigating these sites feels like exploring a labyrinth. I feel like I can spend an hour on those pages, clicking all the hyperlinks, trying to consume all the content it has to offer

I like the site in general for its dedication to Hard Art. I used to visit at least weekly some ten years ago just to inhale a little bit of that European-tinged creativity. I'm happy to see it make the front page of HN. I should return to visiting more often.

At the moment it's one of my favorite websites of "this type", because they haven't done the content purge yet like the main sites did.

Exactly. Come for the content, despite the looks.

It's a memorable URL, which I'd say is pretty useful.

Yea i also used to enjoy it more when i believed it to be literally "all" - as far as i can tell it's an alternate front page. My wife and i have different /r/all's for example, meaning they seem to rank links similarly to your subscribed frontpage.

The web is far more interesting to me when not curated for what something thinks i want.

It's like that until you put in a little time, then it becomes very good at showing you content that you might be interested in.

BTW, I often find the quality of new sumbmissions higher than the homepage.

fennecfoxy | karma 812 | avg karma 0.74 · | 2022-08-26 10:10:11

Yeah, that's very true. And increasingly well curated via tags, too.

I agree, I use it to look at paintings and to blog about painters I am researching and it’s wonderful the depth and breadth of content available on so many subjects. My feed is overflowing and I’ve only skimmed the surface.

forgotmypwbctbi | karma 12 | avg karma 1.09 · | 2020-07-21 16:19:25

i think of it as almost a feature, because quality of website correlates with quality of content.

caller9 | karma | avg karma · | 2012-02-04 12:53:50+00:00

Actually I browse a lot like this. So there.

saberdancer | karma 1216 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2020-12-23 13:51:54+00:00

This might be because there is a lot of content like that.

sen | karma 3525 | avg karma 7.96 · | 2021-07-30 05:52:57

I'm seeing it on all pages... Home, Explore, Subscriptions, even History.

moonchrome | karma 5051 | avg karma 3.12 · | 2023-05-18 13:49:08

I think it shows how much low impact content we consume constantly - where the quality outside of superficial appearance doesn't really matter. Images with obvious flaws, text with factual/logical mistakes - as long as it looks right on the first glance - it's passable in a lot of places.

Just made me more aware of how bulshit is the norm and not the exception.

This is actually very nice. I think discovery can make this site really catch on, like most active, featured, etc.

This collection of fairytales is beautiful but, in general, I want to say that this website is full of gems. It's an example of how I'd like the web to be: accessible, full of knowledge, independent, with personality.
