< Bloatweb is an echo

(For peeps who can't see, the pictures are examples of baroque, overly decorated, greeble-filled architecture, clothing, writing etc).

Yeah. I love a simple wooden bowl weathered with age and use♥

Great points.

But can we separate baroque surface from baroque implementation?

"Medium" is a web page that's faux minimalist that looks clean but is a disgusting mess under the hood.

Similarly, a carpenter told me that beautifully minimal corners (such as the edge between wall and floor) are way more difficult than if you put some sort of covering there. When we complain about bloatweb, we complain more about under the hood (and all of that's consequences on accessibility and energy use) than the surface.
