Actually they don't - the analysis I've just been studying seems to show
that in fact more people prefer easy to navigate, clean, simple and
straightforward - even for museums and galleries, news sites and other
sites
displaying "content" rather than just "selling stuff" (for which the
clean,
simple, easy is even more important).

It was the early/mid teens who were most into big doses of multimedia -
most
other people click on another site as soon as they see "flash loading"
or
things whizzing around and twirling or morphing, while they figure out
where
the hell to go to actually get into the site

So some people do like a big dose of multimedia, but only if you're 13
(or a
graphic /web designer), the same age group/job sector with the highest
WWF
watching quotient and who devour the most pop-tarts and pizza pops ....
something many people (LUG aside) grow out of.

I enjoy watching such things for fun, but not for real life.
