NoJS I was aware of (and support where it makes sense, which is most of the time), but NoCSS? When did that start, and why?

I'd assume it's a joke.

But also...

I'd hardly call it a trend because It's been a thing for as long as I've used the web; but some 'classic' style programmers seem to opt out of CSS for their personal sites. One such example is Dan Luu [0], who wrote in a post [1] that styling decreased his viewership.

Additionally, it can emphasize good structure that was concealed with CSS

Anyone who uses the abominable table border design from HTML1 needs some special kind of punishment.

There's ... something ... to be said for a site with minimal markup which works in text-mode browsers.

Though direct usage of those is probably a sliver of a fraction of all online usage, this also means that automated tools can work with a website. Scraping has both dark and light patterns and use-cases.
