Author of "I lost my love for the web" post. I'd just like to say this line, is exactly what I was talking about. > Most information websites (even things like personal blogs) are trying to reach a wider audience, so its not what most people should be doing. You don't find value in how op created his website so now you are here, telling them they shouldn't be doing it that way.

No, I am am saying that 1) I prefer sites that do not require JS and 2) its not what most sites should do given their aims.

  And you're proving my point. Why can't he just make it how he wants? Not every website on the internet should follow how YOU or MOST sites should do.

    He can. Literally no one is stopping anyone from building a website however they like. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to use a framework or a SPA. All of that is intended for enterprise and business anyway. Use JQuery and a simple grid if you want. Or just plain HTML. Or run off to geminispace and scream into the void. Yes, people will criticize. Unfortunately you can't stop people from criticizing. That's no reason to just give up, that's just life.

      > Unfortunately you can't stop people from criticizing. Yes you can. Instead of ignoring it signaling that their criticism was acceptable, you can push back on it and remind them it's irrelevant and unwanted and they should probably just keep it to themselves. Then more people will maybe stop and think before deciding to blast someone for not following some arbitrary rules you made up in your own head for how someone else should build websites and apps.
