Which people? Give me one pre existing quote of someone who claims to enjoy useless animations in their info and is not a designer.

Edit: emphasis on pre existing thank you. Not replies to my comment after the fact :)

I enjoyed the animations. I’m not a designer.

Ah, so the opinions of my wife and my mother who don’t blog or comment on hacker news about animations don’t count?

Also, self-selection/non response bias. Why would people who like them but otherwise don’t feel strong about them ever comment about it?

I enjoyed the animations, but I didn't find them useless. You're correct that I don't enjoy useless animations, but this is not a useless animation.

While not always a fan, I though this particular example was well done.

I like them..
