Yet when I clicked to learn about the "birth of the web" I was immediately confronted by the death of the web.

A slow-loading site with a custom twirly loading animation, then an image that takes up the full screen so I'd need to scroll to even see any content with a navigation bar that shrinks / grows and changes color based on how far through the page I've scrolled so clickable navigation elements are moving targets.
