Is it me? Am I just being really dumb? Do I not see the forest for the trees?
With each release I get more and more annoyed by this push towards what they (not specifically the BF at all) probably consider modern webdesign™ or maybe responsive webdesign™ as well as modern brand language™.
My point being: There is this immense push towards this kind of scroll-down website layout which is all about big, flashy imagery, tons of autoplay video content, visual this-and-that, tons of useless empty space, absurdly oversimplified catchphrases and solgan-ified dumbdumb-language, virtually zero tangible, useful, actual information.
Long story short: I cannot find the release-notes anymore at all on blender.org.
It all tries to force this overly visual anti-informative marketing-focused bs down my throat wherever I look.
Even by actively searching it, I can’t find any releasenotes any more.
It pushes me towards download-this-and-that, demofiles, daily builds, and all sorts of sloganified marketing-dumbdumb language of zero helpfulness.
Under .org/download, it reads What's New, but that only provides a link circling back to the same langing-page flashy-visual-content-overload-zero-tangible-information BS. Great. Thank you for being so helpful, dear webdesigner.
And if I want to review the releasenotes of older versions, it appears I’m just as much screwed, because under .org/download/releases, I’ll be directed toward more installments of this maximum-visuals-zero-information landingpage-BS.
You know what the best of it is?
Scroll all the way down, eventually (after days of scrolling) you’ll find this:
Super tiny.
But OK, well, finally found it, it literally reads Release Notes, so that must be it, right?
Click on it, and, tadaa 
I’m back on the same flashy-visuals-no-info-landingpage BS again.
I’ll make a commitment here and now: Should I ever make it to Blender Conference, I’ll ask anyone who works at Blender HQ I’d get a hold of about whom is responsible for the blender.org webdesign.
Should I get a hold of that person, they better be prepared for an annoyed, pissed off rant.
I mean, I think its great if Blender’s UI is visually being kept rather modern and doesn’t look like straight out of the 90ies.
But frankly, I’d expected a bit more self-respect and dignity from the blender.org webdesign than this shit where they’re blindly copying all the dysfunctional marketing-above-all, branding-wins-over-usability shitface-crap which they obviously eagerly learn from multi-billion-dollar corporations of the most disgusting nature.
Bravo.
Excuse the rant, greetings,
