How do you know there’s no evidence? You gotta prove that too

I'm saying no evidence has been presented, not that there couldn't be evidence out there. You don't have to prove lack of evidence.

I mean, Hacker News is practically a nexus of people who dislike interactive flashy experiences and favor plain text with minimal styling. I don't know what more proof you need.
