I know it's unconventional to have a website *not* throw popups at you every visit, but come on, this is deeply unsetteling. I can't express how many people are scared of my website *because* I don't track my users, I don't bombard them with things upon visiting. The only thing that's broken at the moment is the navigation menu button doesn’t work with JavaScript disabled, but there's a site map non JavaScript people can use. https://sightlessscribbles.com/

Some are instantly suspicious of it *because* it doesn't do those things, like they are afraid I have malware on my site so are afraid to click links on it. @GreenSkyOverMe

Their understanding of the web has been broken by seeing all these dark patterns and surveillance everywhere

Same, I also have zero cookies, zero tracking on my website. So no cookie banner.

What do you want me to do, open a cookie banner for you just to tell you I don't use cookies? Mhkay.
