In my opinion it's typical of so many and so much today, turn a bunch of "kids" lose on the project and don't give them any direction or quality check. They all want flash and videos etc. and never consider that many of us DON'T want that and our download speeds may be long to get all the junk they stuff into the site. I see it all the time, but here I have to deal with it when they change formats with no notice, they don't bother to tell you they've changed URL's affecting links etc, you're just on your own to figure it out - and in my case apologize to my viewing clients. Even my new Quicken is a stupid "white open" look, the old one was great, but I paid my last $39 to them, they're going subscription in 2018 and I'm waving goodbye.
It's the same in other industries, like music recording, the kids running boards today have severely compromised hearing due to listening to extreme "noise" on earbuds etc. and so when they mix music on the board, they tend to enhance the treble because they can't hear it, to us it's screechy and so you have a resurgence of the vinyl latter music business. But by now the "kids" are also running the companies, so they don't hear, don't care and don't service us old fogies. I guess that pretty much categorizes me - huh?
