Absolutely not just you, this is the same style abused by a comical number of different service websites nowadays because it happens to be the latest fashion fad:

  * Plaid — https://plaid.com  
  * Airtable — https://airtable.com  
  * Blogsend — http://blogsend.io  
  * Twist — https://twist.com  
  * Humaaans ("dopey cartoon people" as a design product) — https://www.humaaans.com/  
  * Personas ("dopey cartoon people" as an avatar) — https://personas.draftbit.com/
Thankfully, this awful trend seems to be going out of favor, because the following services' websites have recently refreshed off it:

  * Pastel (recently refreshed their site) — https://web.archive.org/web/20180203192541/https://usepastel.com/  
  * User Testing (recently refreshed their site) — http://web.archive.org/web/20190201001118/https://www.usertesting.com/
