it’s missing spinners for 5-10 seconds while it loads endless megabytes of javascript doing who knows what.

Seriously how did we get to this point? I remember growing up in the 2000’s and all the marketing about computers was “it’s fast!” and “get results instantly!” that kind of thing. Now everything it gated by multiple spinners, then it loads a skeleton, then it partially loads your actual content, then, when you go to click on something, more content loads and the existing content jumps to a new place and you end up clicking on something else, meaning now you have to go back (if they haven’t hijacked the back button), wait for it all to load again, wait for the second “real” load, and then click on what you actually meant to click on in the first place.

Where is the ‘sign in with google’ pop up?

It should also detect the ad blocker

Also on iPhones Twitter appears to have aligned their privacy reject button with where their open in app overlay appears just a second later so that you hit that instead.

Too many people working on evil dark pattern bullshit

Not true.

The web is more than blogspam, SaaS, the most desperate cases of ecommerce, and the web versions of legacy newspapers/magazines.

Every Fucking Website 2026:

- Paragraphs emerge from the background as you scroll, sometimes only after 3/4 of your screen is empty.

- Some paragraphs are hidden until you expand them. You can’t expand more than one at a time.

- Horizontal scrolling for some items, like e.g. meal categories in a restaurant. The buttons for the scrolling are different on each site, or are dots you must click on.

Really needs a 20MB video playing in the background of the hero.

needs more unexpected layout shifts ;)

In 2026 instead of "Here's some stuff we wrote that you won't read." it's "Here's some slop we couldn't be bothered to write but why don't you read it."
