Thanks for the feedback! I'll think about what you said about the buy me a coffee link.

The vibe of the website is intentional though; I wanted the website to feel like a weird little hole in your computer that someone was staring at you through. You're totally right that there's a different version of this website that produces a very different vibe (and I am probably going to experiment with more ideas in this space), but this one is supposed to be disconcerting.

I like it. Keep it like this

I like it, too, but the "What is this?" text should be displayed on the home page, not after clicking. It would assuage most of these types of concerns.
it is displayed (or at least it's supposed to be displayed) at the same time that the "enable webcam" button is[1] - if it's not that's definitely a bug! Are you on mobile? Would love to fix whatever you're seeing.

[1] they should both fade in as soon as the facial recognition stuff loads
