Ask HN: Do you like the hyper-minimalist blogs posted on this site?

I see a lot of blogs with the same brutalist aesthetics. I liked it at first but now it seems everyone is implementing similiar themes on their sites.

Now, I feel they could use some colors. They seem pretty boring.

    It’s better than being slammed with images ads popovers and cookie warnings

    I like websites that load fast, have no popups or misdirections

    I'm fine with it. I'm not fine with a surprising number of blogs being left-aligned and capped to a width of like 4 pixels on a 27" monitor.

    Yes I do, and I think it would be good for the web if more websites were designed according to a more minimalist approach:

    I'll take boring. Than to land on a blog, where I need to search for the content.

    Minimalist is much better on a mobile device.

    For a blog I think it works great.

    Having said that I don’t think that color is bad or not minimalist.
