That’s how I developed my lifelong love of buttholes.
When the project manager forgets that the users are stakeholders, and are entitled to representation and influence.
The UI of Youtube is actually not bad. What is bad is how the search function has gone to shit, constant promotion of youtube Shorts taking up half the screen, and the algorithm getting steadily worse at recommending videos.
The interface itself is pretty easy to navigate.Youtube 2012 loaded in 1 second on a 5MBit line. HTML, CSS and JS for a page was a few hundred kilobytes.
You can profile the current “responsive” version in your browser. It might not look horrible but it’s a technical abomination. I doubt it’ll even load anymore in a browser from 2012.
100% certain that if they kept their 2012 UI, we’d be complaining about how outdated their UI is.
Well luckily we don’t use browsers from 2012. Thanks god for that. Modern browsers and web standards are so much better.
I do feel like the mobile app has been getting progressively buggier over the last year. Maybe it’s just me but the mini-player has been glitching out for months and other weird stuff has been getting more prevalent like yesterday I had the YouTube play button icon stretched and distorted as an overly across the whole app until I restarted it and creating a queue didn’t work until I started a new video manually.
I couldn’t tell you. I ditched it for GrayJay since it was in alpha and couldn’t be happier.
I really don’t like how hitting the back button minimizes the currently playing video instead of going back to the previous played video, personally
You forgot Quora. That site used to be semi-useful. These days I can never tell whether I’m reading an actual answer to the question or just some random recommended post that’s been shoved in in between.
Right? Whenever I go on Quora I have to double-check whether the response I’m reading is actually the answer or just another post
I think Quora is on another level. It’s a weird zombie site these days
Haha, you think those are bad? Try any professional tools, like CAD’s, DAW’s, or 3d modelling software.
Or, even worse, any internal corporate software, the bigger and the older the company is, the better… at being the worst, that is.
Or. actually, just go to an any airline’s office to buy a ticket and witness the atrocity they have on their monitors. No, those are not blue screens of death. That bunch of gibberish is the actual UI. And the only way to interact with it is by typing in commands that read like something that Lovecraftian creatures would sound like.
I haven’t tried many CAD softwares but AutoCAD has really intuitive UI. I used to be able to find most things by just thinking what tab it should be based on what it is. It actually inspired me to learn better programming and software design to make something intuitive. I haven’t used it in years since I came to Linux so as long as they haven’t changed it.
Are you a zoomer? Command line is way better than a billion little buttons

Those systems are so much faster and more reliable than the bubbly shit we have now. All that crap on the screen is what we call “information density.” It’s designed for people who work with it several hours a day and understand it, not for some random to be able to learn in 15 minutes. It has a longer learning curve, but is way more efficient in the end.
SAP: “Step aside, kids”
Guess it doesn’t look like this anymore:
Hahahahaha. I hate SAP with a burning fury. I’m not sure if it’s looked like this for a long time as I’ve only been in my career three years, but yep yep yep yep, looks exactly the same.
Then it’s looked like that for at least a decade, nice.
Imagine they have new versions with new UIs, but legacy businesses ain’t gonna pay for those upgrades and retraining and re-integration costs!
It’s actually optimized for them. The goal is to get users to spend time and see ads etc. The UI is not made for us users.
Just like cellphones.
Yall must not work in manufacturing.
I know this is a slightly different category, but Snapchat’s UI is absolutely the worst- far worse than all of these. It’s my go-to UI to pick on.
Let’s add google drive.
I hate their ui.
The worst thing they did with the UI which OneDrive also does, is take the universally understood concept of “Saving” and make it mean 5 different things within the same program.
Youtube is not bad, but Discord makes me feel like a boomer.
I really don’t get Discord. Why would I want all of my chats in different top-level sections? I much prefer just having a list of groups that I am a part of. I do like sorting them into priority and low priority but that is all I want and it is independent of “server”.
GIMP
How do you have these listed and not the myriad of FOSS products that are garbage to use.
Y’all remember mumble? Easy peasy compared to discord amirite?
GIMP looks a lot nicer than it did 20ish years ago, but it’s still really really bad.
I can somewhat forgive FOSS tools for having poor UI, but GIMP is one tool that really should have some love poured into the UI and how usable it is for power users.
Tip: Type / in GIMP for a command palette
Reddit must have an entire QA department dedicated ro making the UI shitty. Like how can you make a shit ui even worse. It can’t be an accident, you gotta be doing it on purpose.
Discord was a train wreck from the off
Amazon:
its been a while since i last saw this meme
For YouTube, use FreeTube, Tubular or LibreTube if you like native clients or Piped and Invidious if you prefer a website.
It’s best not to use Reddit at all, but if you need it for some reason, check out Libreddit or this site
Unfortunately not much can be done to avoid Discord’s terrible UI other than not using it. The Matrix protocol and Element client are pretty nice alternatives.
A third party app that’s still working for me for Reddit is called Stealth.
I tried it a few months ago and it was broken, I might give it another shot
