Did it really bother you? They had some goofy illustrations in the blog post. So what? I thought it was kind of fun

It was goofy and fun-looking when the first blog did it.

Now that everyone and its dog does those "goofy" illustrations, I find them insufferable.

I haven't seen "everyone and its dog" doing anything of this sort - the vast majority of blogs nowadays seem to be indistinguishable from one another, just bland and barely styled text.

I am enjoying how bothered people are by it, though.
