Also my reasoning behind the "shitty load animation" was intentionally put there to show the site is working. and loading. If you have good internet, then it won't display. (I've yet to see it, other than what I forcefully redirected myself to it).
So I guess shitty load animation for people with shitty internet connection. Though I do agree, it may get annoying after a time, question is, whether it's better than starting at blank loading page.
