Based on the post, I was expected the website to look far worse.

1. I agree the onboarding isn’t great and could use an overhaul.
2. Had to specifically look search for the mascot (didn’t see it on the website) and yeah, that’s rough (starting from scratch may not be a bad idea). Flaxy O’Hare
3. The screenshot also showed a pretty basic UX that could look far better.

I guess in conclusion, I think all your points are valid.

Edit: numbered items and added missing link.

I believe this is disproven by the last movie (Dark Fate) and a boot strap theory using Salvation’s Marcus (apparently their is a boot strap theory with Sarah Conner too).

Funny thought though :)

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing :)
