UX design got better and better for many years...but it has definitely been regressing over the past few years, IMO. It's weaponized minimalism at this point. Because it "looks cool, bro".
It's a variant of enshittification.
The overuse of the word enshittification drives me crazy.
Enshittification of "enshittification"
/s
Enshittiception
Ekshuliiii.. it should be Enshittificursion or Reshittification. Inception means something else.
I'll show myself out.
Yeah, it has a very specific meaning, and people are now using it to mean "things becoming shitty". Just because "shit" is the base word doesn't mean that's what the whole word means.
Yes, thank you! I thought I was the only one. I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds every time I see it.
Feels like it's always been a buzzword for whatever someone doesn't like right now
Thank you. I think it was overused even the moment it was used for its intended purpose. It feels really im14andthisisedgy to me.
I'm actually really glad we're hearing it.
It's a sign that people are finally starting to have higher standards.
I think those with low standards would get upset. Nobody likes to admit they're being taken advantage of.
It’s Lemmy’s “play stupid games…” variant
Are they wrong for using a word correctly? Or are you wrong for being a bitch about it? Hmmm.
Underuse IMO. We’ve grown complacent in so many regards.
What do you mean 'overuse'?
It's just now entering our vernacular.
Buy!!!?
[YES SPEND ALL MY MONEY]
[no]
You know that the [no] option would be [maybe later]
I FUCKING HATE THIS
Like I'm really that fucking stupid.. That ~~you're~~ your ( 😮💨 ) dumb little psychological trick is going to work, and I'm just going to wake up one day with an insatiable hankering for your product? Fuck you, company.
[keep reminding me til I accidentally click yes or just fold]
Then you go to click [no] and the web page magically loads something else above it, which moves the page contents, forcing you to click the [yes].
LOL, harsh facts right here.
applying any design language feels wrong. it's pure manipulation -- i remember being forced onto the official twitter app and couldn't believe there wasn't a scroll bar. i felt lost; the timeline felt infinite, swallowing
They want you doom scrolling.
It's one reason I like kbin. I'll read to page 5 and that's my limit for a session. Endless scrolling is annoying.
On kbin you have the choice to set it to doom scroll if you want.
Choice is the important thing with something like doom scrolling.
Yes.
I also like upvote and downvote separated. Some apps don't have that option.
I would are that the design industry has gotten better about understanding a user’s core motivations, and how design can solve business problems, but it’s gotten worse at classic interaction design / HCI.
The UX industry is FULL of bootcamp people or former graphic designers who never really studied or were passionate about interaction models.
As with engineering, the demand for UX designers is so high that a lot of mediocre talent can easily get a gig.
