Asshole design

It stopped working for me with a vpn. They are really pushing people away at this point.

I guess it’s an issue is profitability. I think long term, these companies can’t survive. It really depends on a community support.

I go to Reddit for literally one thing every week- a schedule I won't see anywhere else. I just look at the schedule and leave. But I still need Reddit to see that schedule.

I'm not really using it like before, i jump there sometimes from search results and am logged in automatically...

I haven't deleted my account yet, because idk, there are some things I'd like to be able to look up.

Same

Or the X has the same color as the background, making it hard to see at all and so small, it's almost unusable on Mobile.

These are all intentional, to make it hard for you. I build websites for a living and clients actually ask for designs that "keep" the user on the site. Since i have no say in things other than the area that affects my work, i sometimes hate my job and have no other way than just do my job.

"Oh, the cancel button is too big. Make it smaller or better yet, don't make it a button, just a small text link, somewhere at the bottom, with font-size: 9 px .... And remove the underline..."

Hey, remember the days of pop-up windows where the X button was labelled "Open in background" if you hovered over it. At least there's been some progress. \s

Eh, the worse the experience is, the less I want to use Reddit, which is only good if you ask me.

Any recap "service" suggests (necessitates, even) that said site is digging deeply through the data it has on you. It's only function is to normalize the notion that these companies have your data and "it's really not a big deal because they're doing this fun stuff with it, right?"

Suffice to say, I'm good without a Fediverse "recap".
