A nice representation of the enshittification! I liked the concept of scrolling web pages to spot a specific content. I kinda regret there isn't enough time to actually read them, even by jumping paragraph. My way to get to level 3 was mostly to slide the scrollbar very fast until a spot a different color. Which was still an engaging challenge, especially with the ads that stop the pace to require precision (though again, I wish I had more time to read those, they seemed funny). It's a good portrayal of the weirdness of Web 1.0, mixed with the agressive ads of Web 2.0. Nice work!

Thanks!

Yeah content of the webpages are wikipedia articles on random things, we didn't have time to make them funny. The ads are though.

But you got the idea :)
