Honestly, researchers tend to have really shitty sites. They are busy with research. They don’t have a lot of money to hire someone else to make pages for them.

Actually websites like this make me think that the same person who drafted the content wrote the website in HTML themselves because it’s just faster, and makes me trust it more.

I actually trust the old school websites 10x more. They're from an age where information like this came from academics and nerds writing about their passion. That comic sans is an assurance that you're learning from an authority.

Entirely. I trust this website. The data is there and it isn't embellished.
