I tried my best to keep the question neutral but you can probably guess I'm not a huge fan of this trend

Sure, it's cute to see a Studio Ghibli re-enactment of your blog post but then I'm always left wondering if I'm going to spend more time reading the article than the author took to write it. It kind of ruins my enjoyment of the indieweb if I end up looking suspiciously at dashes. Could this have been a twitter thread with a few photos and the raw prompts instead?

All that being said, I've been trying to work out if this is another thing I should let go. With how outrage-fuelled social media is these days I've been working on being less judgemental of others if it doesn't directly affect me.

20 years ago you could have perfectly civil conversations on forums with people with usernames xXx_ShadowFox69_xXx and typically the contents of their messages was more important than how cringy their signature was. Maybe this is just an unfortunate part of the modern web I should look past, even if I don't like it?
