Information hiding in textareas is terrible
It is so annoying to have information in the textarea (HTML script tag term) on all of your result pages. What is the point of this on a computer? Maybe on a phone, but a computer is just silly. I'm talking about the little ... at the bottom left of many textarea's on the page that one must click on to see the ALL the text. It is obvious that the hidden text is already in the page because there is no round-trip to your servers when one clicks on the ...
Even more dopey is the slack implementation. When one clicks on the little ... it is typically just a line or two of text that is added to the output. Certainly HTML could be constructed to determine if the use of the ... would be hiding only a line or two.
This is a terrible practice that should be stopped. I am not aware of any other site that inflicts this on their users.
If this practice is not stopped, perhaps it is time to investigate your competitors like "The Movie Database" at https://www.themoviedb.org/
