Is that the case here (and it just happens that I have no clue what this particular site is about) ?
Or am I grossly misunderstanding the act (very likely I guess since IANAL) ?

Ofcom’s advice to the Secretary of State
Ofcom submitted their advice – and the unerpinning research that had informed it – to the Secretary of State on 29 February 2024 and published it on 25 March. In summary, its advice is as follows: Category 1
Condition 1:
Use a content recommender system; and
Have more than 34m UK users on the U2U part of the service
Condition 2: Allow users to forward or reshare UGC; and
Use a content recommender system; and
Have more than 7m UK users on the U2U part of the service
Ofcom estimates that there are 9 services captured by condition 1 and 12-16 likely to be captured by condition 2. There is one small reference in the annex that the 7m+ monthly users threshold corresponds to the DSA (A6.15)
Category 2a (search) Not a vertical search service; and
Have more then 7m UK users
Ofcom estimates that there are just 2 search services that currently sit (a long way) above this threshold but that it is justified to put it at this level to catch emerging services.
Category 2b (children) Allow users to send direct messages; and
Have more than 3m UK users on the U2U part of the service
Ofcom estimates that there are “approximately 25-40 services” that may meet this threshold.-------------------------------------------
Related to that, I saw a local band posting marketing material online, that was this kind of amateurish typography with a collage of photos decorated with coloured markers. 2 years ago I'd be laughing at what a terrible job it was, today, it's a breath of fresh human air from all the slop we're subjected to all over the internet. It caught my attention, so much that I'm going to see the band this weekend.
