Marquee and blink are fun. Any site that removes them for the sake of accessibility is killing the whole idea of nostalgia and a 90s vibe.

Go out in the world. There is marquee and blinking text everywhere, on billboards, ads, and marquees. Put real life things on the web isn’t a crime.

The crime is using blink and marquee in the real world.
Most news programs I’ve seen have a marquee with the latest headlines running across the bottom.

Great feature for muted tv waiting rooms, for example.

Meh, I don't miss marquee. They were always too slow for me, I just wanted to read the content.
