> almost all had 1990s-era WordArt, default fonts, and generous amounts of spelling mistakes. I always wondered why people put so little effort into the design; For them it was a lot of effort; and that was why they looked at it and thought it must be good. I once helped people with little money but much passion to communicate their urgent thoughts to others, via flyers, newsletters, and BBSen and the internet when that happened. They'd spend a day writing the message and then a week making it impenetrable via layout, and often couldn't be talked out of the "every option available" forms.
