To my mind, the biggest issue is that I don't know who Ben is - why should I trust his curation expertise? The site doesn't reveal anything at all about its creator, except that he is fresh out of fucks!
Second, the curation is limited to 4-5 lines of the theme description - it feels more like Ben is "selling" the theme rather than explaining why he included it in his list.
Third, he is dismissive of the many articles that address the same issue. However, as a layperson trying to develop a website, I will trust a Google search more - wisdom of the crowd, yada, yada.
