All of those requirements, 'user centered design' among them, to show a picture in the slowest way possible, ever, and to abuse the user by forcing them to download megabytes of malicious code to see that goddamn picture. The most outrageous part is that people actually get paid well for this.
You can't get paid to cut the web cancer out, but lots of people get paid and paid well to help grow said cancer.
This creates no value, this benefits no one.
Economy as a whole is not that much better than the popularly despised NFTs - entire companies and industries are first and foremost something to bet on, and what's behind them is hardly of importance - be it megabytes of bullshit code or a poorly drawn picture. Jobs are created the same way those monkey pictures are drawn - and the salary of a worker is affected by the importance of his work in hardly a greater part than the price of an NFT is determined by how well it is drawn.
