Wow, I thought you were exaggerating / being the usual AI hater, so I opened the page expecting a some product screenshots with a few too many em dashes or something like that, fully intending to tell you to calm down. But dammmn it's bad! You weren't exaggerating at all!

After Proton acquisition, prices became exorbitant and aesthetics hideous I guess.

I should also add that Proton also has become somewhat tacky aesthetically over the years. Their old Alpine, sober aesthetic was really great.

Its almost enjoyably bad - I especially appreciate how it gets worse as you scroll.

Do images of that low quality honestly help sell something? I'd have thought stock footage or simple icons would be more effective.
