pages are too short, there's too little information on them, switching between pages and reading through is clunky, there's too much clicking - and not enough 'actual content' in comparison. (there's too much clicking in proportion to actual content being shown, and it ends up being an annoyance and a disappointment in 'received/perceived value from actions'.) even the individual pages - besides being alarmingly most of the time too short to even be an individual page and not a section on a larger page - pages also have a bunch of overstructured 'junk' on them: those bizarre blue (?) cards stacked at the bottom (wanna highlight something? one or two cards - fine. five, six, more? that's entirely too much), 'related topics' (that look just like a meaningless list of random links), and sources (dumped at the bottom, instead of being interspersed throughout the text, or being tucked away somewhere else). it all just looks like a bunch of visual clutter with dubious value, and even if there's actual value there, it gets diminished by having stuff be scattered like this, in a 'what should I even pay attention to' kind of way. and when all that junk in comparison is even longer than the 'page' and its actual content itself - it really gives an impression like 'what the hell is even happening here? what's the value of this'. being forced to scroll through that junk to even get to 'prev/next page' buttons, feels kinda like a betrayal of good reading experience.
it's a good example of why websites like this are so bad at being 'readable'. like, compare this mess to the experience of reading a book.
