I was thinking the same thing, another news story(?) set out as a video game. Does anyone have a link to a just-the-facts version, because this one is a tl;dp (too long, didn't play). Also, we get dinged for playing video games during work time.
I thought the initial scroll thing at the top was kinda cool, but then I scrolled more and it just scrolled up tiny text windows at a time. I had to eject.
I was actually interested in the contents but the scrolling is unbearable. It looks like some contemporary art and not a web page with stuff to read.
No ideas how to design a site (or too many ideas)? The motherfucking website to the rescue! https://motherfuckingwebsite.com. It also has theee other incantations.
I wonder if this works better on phones? From part 2 on it seemed like normal scroll to me.
It presented some things I didn't know - I thought all H1Bs had to be advertised to US applicants, but it was just done in places nobody sees and applicants ignored, while this says most places don't even need to do that, for example.
But I also think its timelines of things in India seemed sort of perfunctory and repetitive.
As a tangent, I've long thought that the counterintuitive easy fix for some of the problems with these visas is to convert them to green cards faster (maybe 18 months?) as that should instantly help undo wage suppression pressures.
This is interesting aggregated data for an informative report, but present it like a slide deck. It detracts and annoys rather than engage the reader. As others said, present it as a report, with more details on references for easier checking/diving deeper (e.g. web links!).

Edit: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ is the next one, and the third one is not worth it
