I don't think he added moving cursors all over the page because he thought it was good UI/UX, he knows what he is doing.

This is seemingly self-contradictory. Perhaps you could explain your reasoning further?

  Doing bad things is their idea of fun.

He appears (if his logos are anything to go by) to be a flat UI guy. I doubt any of these people know what they're doing.

I'm having a hard time reconciling "he knows what he is doing" with him making his site practically unusable without a reader mode, which by the way, not every browser supports (especially on mobile).

  Don't even think of switching on the dark (night) mode with that attitude! :D I really enjoyed the tongue in cheek design. I think every modern browser either allows you to turn on reader mode (especially on mobile) or just turn off CSS. This particular article works excellently even in w3m.

Firefox Focus on mobile does not have Reader Mode.

      Fair enough. Tbh at a different time I would probably be as pissed at the author as anyone. Might be mood dependent. I should also add that the night mode won't be as fun on mobile either, just checked and I don't think it works with pointer events for the effect

    Fine, sure. Cute - turn on reader mode. Now the images that are supposed to be sitting over yellow background are dark gray images over a slightly less dark gray background. The decision to design a serious (read: not-tongue-in-cheek) topic with these "quirky" tricks sucks, JMHO.
