I think the best web page is a photo with a page of paper of handwriting : several photos if one has a lot to say.
Today’s bandwidth and powerful computers can easily handle it

I design systems similar to this; in my mindset the competency and privacy are the same.
There is simply no way anyone competent or knowledgeable would have made this series of mistakes in good faith. And it’s very hard for someone not knowledgeable about the tech to understand the magnitude.
It’s rather like designing and selling car with bad breaks, and your car gets into an accident which could have been avoided had the breaks worked. But nobody could test the breaks fully?

Indeed, how can anyone know?
I think failures like this will be readily apparent, within months after launch, to technically minded people only. But only if people have summaries in their news feeds or know how to research the opinions of others…
Perhaps non technical people should wait at least a year or two of before trying a new service? By then the worst of them will have crashed or be found out.
This will not be the last time it happens. With llm coding, I think there will be dozens similar to this in a few years
