Web design is a lot more easy when you're not trying to sell people crap they don't need.
There are hard problems. But there are also problems that are hard only because the designers are operating in a flawed frame. Most people spend their lives working within the frames crafted for them by their employers, never seeking out their own.
(In fact, If you operate outside of a commercial frame, the solution often is to do nothing - creating unnecessary things too often adds needless noise and discord to the world.)
The three gates of speech, but for a holistic, ecological awareness when deciding whether you should create a new tool, toy, product, program, etc.

@yoshiki @neauoire hadn't heard of "the three gates of speech", but it seems to be based on a Buddhist thing I had heard of. https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.058.than.html
(w/ full respect to web designers(i have worn that hat a lot too) - it can be a uniquely challenging kind design even without the commercial constraints. just commenting that imperative of marketing makes it a lot more complicated than it needs to be )
