Oh it's unconventional alright. When I see a link formatted as https://www.example.com/ and click it, the last thing I expect is for it to vanish and become "Copy Link | Visit website". Boggles my mind.
Not sure if I'm with you on this one. I see what you mean but I also have a hard time to understand what's going on on these sites. So in my eyes these are quite exactly what the author called it. Unconventional. However I like the idea of getting these concepts shown and shared just to see what could might work or what causes a lot of attention.
reminds me of early Flash days where everyone was so excited about not having to use tables/frames/etc and started making "organic" sites instead of structured sites. so usability was neat and interesting, others were outright confusing. weird styles have their place, but people like to follow trends and use weird styles when it is not appropriate. these tend to feel like square pegs in a round hole.
It is neat, but personally I'm not wild about it. Most of these examples are terrible for accessibility needs, and otherwise a frustration if you visited to find specific information. I do appreciate the novelty though.
Rave on ravers.
It is random walk down a rabbit hole, but quite entertaining (and inspiring).
