https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona Here's a more in-depth article of what was found and the process involved.
I have to say this is one of the coolest sites I've visited

I haven't seen anything that stylized in quite a while. Really need a desktop cat again.
Also very interesting read

Vintage PC animations? Ok, I'm curious.
Auto-playing music? Fuck that, I'm out. I'll stick to the OP link.

How are they able to auto-play audio even when my browser is set to block that?

Browsers can't autoplay video and audio without the user's permission, and that permission is given via input events, mainly the click event. When you press the 'continue' button, you send a click event to the browser, which grants the script permission to play audio.
There is likely an event listener on the 'continue' button that when pressed simply runs the audio script, which is allowed under autoplay rules (user interacted with the page). Not sure if that's actually the case since I'm currently on a phone and my internet connection is pure dogwater so I can't even get past the continue button.

Get the fuck off any platform that requires this shit. Social media is what it is. There has to be other ways of doing. Like are we better for it yah know?

LinkedIn uses persona too, part of why I left the platform. No I won’t scan my gov id and face for you let me access my social media profile.

Has anyone been able to find the list of persons included in the source? Vmfunc's blog says that a list was published but later taken down.
EDIT: wayback machine of course

In the pursuit of a zinger of a meme I came across a website www.savethechildren.org It is all about managing perception.
