Yes, they are the worst kind of site and they represent fairly everything that I dislike about the "modern" web. Superfluous animations, not clear where to click, and with an overall design that is so standard that is not evident whether it is a parody or not [0]. I pretty much prefer clean designs with clearly visible links, like wikipedia, or hackernews, or the recently discussed today sourcehut [1]
