Ask HN: Why did they have to depracate the marquee element?

Ugh, seriously, deprecating the <marquee> element is just another example of overzealous standardization gone wrong! Why do they have to strip away the charm of the early internet? It's like they want to erase the playful and creative side of web design.

I mean, come on! My child used to have a blast customizing their Myspace page with those scrolling marquee texts and funky animations. It was a form of expression! Now, they're taking it away just because of some accessibility concerns and responsive design mumbo jumbo.

And what's the deal with trashing <blink> too? Okay, maybe it was a bit annoying, but if people don't like it, they won't use it. Why do we have to conform to this sterile, one-size-fits-all approach? Let the internet be a playground for creativity, not a cookie-cutter, sanitized environment.

Sure, there might be security concerns, but seriously, it's not like the whole internet is going to collapse because of a few blinking texts. Sometimes, it feels like they're just sucking the fun out of web development, forcing everyone to adhere to their rigid standards.

I miss the days when you could inject a bit of personality into your online presence without being judged for it. Bring back the marquee! Let people decide for themselves if they want to embrace the nostalgic quirks of the early web.
