I sincerely disagree. The introduction requires way too much effort. It is difficult to read, it is not structured well enough, it is too wordy (but missing vital "to the point" examples), and with bad fonts and color choices.

"Nihilism: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless;" Oxford. Concise and seems pretty clear to me. While the article is well written, it doesn't really adds much IMO.

"more than five customer complaints" Five out of _? We should care about the proportion, and should consider some time decay (maybe the issues were a decade ago).
