YouTube rolled out another update. There's now a few more animated thingies, it takes another full second to load a page and everything is noticeably less responsive.
I can barely look at the Internet anymore with all the solid primary colors and sans-serif fonts. Every website has a big full-screen stock photo slideshow on the front page while all the things you really want are relegated to a mobile-style sidebar you have to pull out, or a tiny little link at the very bottom, or worst of all--it dynamically loads once you scroll down. Everything you mouse over makes a lightbox or some other huge UI element appear. Facebook photos have been literally unusable for years due to "theater mode," which doesn't even do anything except make a dark background appear but it still takes forever to load. Nothing just appears anymore, it has to fade in or slide in or grow from the mouse pointer or slide out in a drawer or fly in on a flaming fidget spinner. An article on a news site isn't just an article, it's part of an endless feed that scrolls up or down. Not everything has to be fucking animated mobile-friendly scaling WebGL NodeJS modern retro metro sleek aesthetic minimalist zen tex-mex user-friendly bullshit cockfuck dick.
I hate modern web design, I really do. There is so little information per page nowadays that it's pointless to look at a modern website until you're two or three pages deep. I had no idea I was so upset about this until I wrote this post.
