The brilliance is the simplicity. You don’t get ads every other article. You get information.
Look at a ‘man’ page. It delivers information in an easy to read, text format.
We have had so much CSS, JS, pop-ups, pop-unders, and invasive click-tracking shoved down our collective throats that “surfing” the web is not an enjoyable experience anymore. It’s a damn chore.
There is an undercurrent of simplicity in the design of web-pages that I personally am starting to more often. If you look at links posted here by highly technical people or *nix power users, it’s a bare-bones blog or site.
For example: https://plaintextproject.online/index.html

One value I have is: it's all about information and curiosity. People that need an aesthetically pleasing UI seem to not share this value enough.
