was pressreader.com created using vibe coding on a small language model running on B rated hardware, or did someone let an 8th grade classroom build this site?

Goddamn that website is terrible. I am trying to read ~200 lines of text and I get: A loading indicator (I guess to compensate for a 5 second initial paint? Maybe just make the site faster?), overridden native behaviors like scroll, select and right click and almost 15mb downloaded so I can see 5kb of text and an extremely low res image of a guy.

I am actually amazed at the amount of complexity, technical debt, and performance that was sacrificed to achieve bad UX.
